ASIMO
The P-series is a chronological progression of prototype humanoid robots as developed by Honda. The research conducted allowed the eventual creation of ASIMO.

Short introduction of ASIMO which I collected from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
ASIMO (アシモ, ashimo?) is a humanoid robot created by Honda Motor Company. Standing at 130 centimeters (4 feet 3 inches) and weighing 54 kilograms (119 pounds). The robot resembles a small astronaut wearing a backpack and can walk or run on two feet at speeds up to 6 km/h (4.3 mph).[1] ASIMO was created at Honda's Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan. It is the current model in a line of eleven that began in 1986 with E0.
Officially, the name is an acronym for "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility". Honda's official statements claim that the robot's name is not a reference to science fiction writer and inventor of the Three Laws of Robotics, Isaac Asimov.
As of 2007, there are 46 ASIMO units in existence.Each one costs less than $1 million (¥106,710,325 or 638,186 or £504,720) to manufacture, and some units are available to be hired out for $166,000 (¥17,714,316 or 105,920 or £83,789) per year.
*Video of ASIMO I captured.Sorry for the blurness of it cause I was just using my phone instaed of a camera plus I was too short for it,obviously.Hence,this is the result ,hopefully you'll adore the cute-ness of ASIMO.Winks*
He walks.He runs.
And perhaps most impotantly,
he inpires us all to dream.
I LOVE ASIMO.
xoxo.
