The New ASIMO at the Consumer Electronics Show 2007.

ASIMO is the world's most advanced humanoid robot developed by the Japanese company Honda. The name is short for "advanced step in innovative mobility" and also means "legs also," in Japanese. It is named after Isaac Asimov, an American professor and science fiction writer who is credited with coining the term robotics and proposing the Three Laws of Robotics.
