As well as using the Asimo technology for future robots, some of the technology that was developed for it is used in the company’s cars and motorcycles.
Some of the engineers who previously worked on Asimo are now working on Honda’s self driving technology and using their knowledge for AI and more.
Honda is also developing a rehabilitation device for physical therapy that will use the Honda Asimo’s walking technology. It sounds like Asimo has been a success for Honda, in terms of the technology that the company has developed from their project.
