In 1986,the Honda automotive company wanted to see if it could make a human﹣like robot,to help in home,play football,balance on one foot,and even dance.Over the years there were some problems but soon the researchers managed to get a robot named ASIMO.It could walk on uneven(不平坦的) surfaces,and move its center of gravity like we do to climb stairs.
More recently,ASIMO was improved so it could turn round and run at six kilometers per hour,using its upper body to control movement.
ASIMO is designed to be friendly.It is hoped that robots like this could be used to help elderly people in their home.Honda are also using this technology to help people with disabilities.It can also push a cart(手推车) and open and close doors.ASIMO can even shake hands.It stands 120centimeters tall,so that it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down.It can hold two kilos in its hands.It can even carry a tray without dropping the contents.
So,where next for this kind of robot?Well,while ASIMO is attractive,it is still controlled by a human.Researchers in the USA are working on the robots that can learn about the world around them,and give a reply to human touch and voice.The robots are even learning to recognize(辨认) objects,people and vocabulary.Soon the descendants(后代) of these robots may be serving you drinks or helping with jobs at home and at work.
69.At what speed could ASIMO run after it was improved?
70.Can ASIMO make tea or push a cart?
71.Why is ASIMO designed to be 120centimeters tall?
