Some of our readers will remember ASIMO, Honda’s robot which turned 10 years old last year, Honda has just unveiled a new version of ASIMO, and he has had a few upgrades over the previous version.

At the beginning of the development process, the following three factors were identified as necessary for a robot to perform as an autonomous machine.
