See ASIMO Run

Now at Disneyland, Honda’s ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) is demonstrating its latest technological advancements including several new mobility and artificial intelligence capabilities for enhanced human interaction, in addition to the ability to run nearly 4 miles per hour, in 15-minute science shows.

Starting last Wednesday, ASIMO became a part of the Southland park’s ‘Innoventions’ stage show, which launched in June 2005 as part of the theme park’s 50th Anniversary celebration. Innoventions plays at the Honda ASIMO Theatre and gives visitors a glimpse into a not-too-distant future when humanoid robots, like ASIMO, will assist humans in their homes. Park guests see ASIMO operate in a modern home environment by using all of its unique technological capabilities, such as running, walking forward and backward, climbing and descending a flight of stairs and taking direction from a person.

ASIOMO’s Say ‘Hello’ to Honda’s ASIMO is the only permanent installation of ASIMO in North America and demonstrations take place several times a day. For more information about ASIMO and the Say ‘Hello’ to Honda’s ASIMO show, visit asimo.honda.com.

Located in Tomorrowland at Disneyland park, “Innoventions” offers a hands-on experience of current technologies where visitors of all ages can experiment with an array of interactive devices, games and exhibits that demonstrate how today’s innovations can improve life for all of us.
