ASIMO (アシモ) is a humanoid robot created in 2000 by Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha. ASIMO is considered the first humanoid robot that can walk on two feet in a manner resembling human locomotion. Weighing 43 kilograms, the external design of the robot resembles a small astronaut wearing a backpack.
Three prototypes preceded the current ASIMO 2000 model: prototype P1 in 1986, P2 in 1996 and P3 in 1997.
The robot's name is a backronym in honor of science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, maker of the Three Laws of Robotics. Officially, the name stands for "Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility". In Japanese, the name is pronounced ashimo and, not coincidentally, means "legs also".
In 2004, ASIMO was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame.
