Seriously this was 11 years ago and we haven't heard anything about this version of Asimo since..... Asimo's gotta be pretty smart by now or someone got scared and locked him away :(
Well. sadly in 2018 Honda shut down all commercial development and production of the Asimo series, wanting to focus on implementing the technologies of asimo into other products. although honda apparently is still using it for research purposes so idunno what that means
With how things are today with AI chat bots I have a feeling they didnt stop and only stopped making it public. This video is probably the only time ive ever seen this version of Asimo shown as we only ever got to see the walking version and not the smart version like shown here and this was almost 15 years ago now and this Asimo can recognize objects and we never saw this one again.@@aguycalledSilas
Whenever I see clips of Asimo, I remember a conversation I had with a programmer friend a few years back. I think engineers are the same wherever they come from, and somewhere within it's millions of lines of code, one of the programmers WILL have added some reference to Isaac Asimov's "3 laws of robotics" (Maybe even just wrote into a text file). He said the Japanese Honda programmers wouldn't do something like that due to their "no nonsense work ethic". I'd love to know who's right on this.
And here we are, six years later, where Google Photos sorts pictures for its users. The algorithm that powers my phone would be worth millions in 2009! Can't wait to see what another six years brings to the table! 😄
six years later here: robots can now identify and describe any object, create artworks better than most people and thousands of times faster, synthesize speech almost indestiguishable from human, hold conversations, write poetry on any subject, write computer code in seconds, solve many word math problems, read and summarize articles, write music, walk, jump, balance, carry objects, avoid obstacles, interpret laws, write movie scripts, write business plans, diagnose diseases better than many doctors...
I can't help but imagine James May would be brilliant no matter what is thrown at him. My God he knows how stuff and takes genuine interest on what he is presenting.
you can probably program it to recharge itself. You have a power outlet for it to plug in to somewhere in the house, and when the battery goes low the robot automatically plugs itself in.
@luceneInAction it means that more robotics experts will be needed, and people to produce the parts needed for the robots, and supervisors to monitor the robots
As James May I'm not so sure these robots can't take over the world. Just read the book called R.U.R ( Rossum's Universal Robots) written about this theme by visionary famous Czech writer Karel Čapek . He wrote it in 1920!!! His brother Josef Čapek invented the word "Robot". In that time it was just amasing fiction..... now this is perfect example it doesn't need to be fiction at all.
So, in 2009, Asimo was demonstrating interpretive object recognition abilities. In 2017, the highlight of an Asimo performance is when he shows how he can hop on one leg. We've nothing to fear from humanoid robots.
Yes, it has seen toy cars before, so at first it identified the mini cooper as a generic toy car. But then it was told that this specific toy car is a mini cooper.
it could also mean that he has overwritten the original "toycar" for the generic class of object with "mini cooper". if you showed him another toycar, like a ferrari, he might also identify it as a mini cooper.
This is just a bit out there i think. They claim asimo can "learn" object identitys, while really all it does is recognise shapes and objects people have "programmed" it to know. Its still impressive that he could part the table from the chairs, but still it is merely just programming.
Does anyone know the music half way through this? The trancey strings tune when the Asimo first meets his grandpa.. Would love to get the music there, please help :) Great Episode, thanks for uploading this!
WE have to remember the name of the object is not critical for intelligence, i.e. we as humans have 1000s of languages, but the understanding of each object. What you can do to it etc, what it is used for.
Which would still be numbers for him. Do you understand all this is programs, pure algorithms, thousands lines of code ? "Flexible conditioned responses" would have to be programmed in a way or an other, the way the "brain" works is not the matter, how you program it IS the matter. In place of new connections, the robots are storing new data (like shape, color, size) which is corresponding to a type of object, face, he stores the data and restore it when you ask it, like us... In a different way
James May should have accurately referred to the car as "Toy Mini Cooper" or "Model Mini Cooper" because it's not the same thing as a life sized vehicle.
There is probably research being carried out now that would surprise people from a performance perspective. You should check out singularity hub and Kurzweil AI websites as they put up news everyday about research like this that has just be published. Have you ever tried a chatbot. Now imagine a chatbot combined with IBM watson and google glass.
If this video is accurate, it seems that a wide range of manual tasks, such as harvesting fruits and vegetables or basic janitorial work, will eventually be handle by robots. While people fret about the export of low wage factory work or the influx of immigrants to do low skill jobs, they need to realize that eventually those jobs will be done by robots, not people. You have to wonder what this means economically for hundreds of millions of people around the world.
"Mini Cooper."
"mini pooper, ok"
"Maybe toy car"
That sentence alone shows how amazing Asimo's abilities really are. :D
ⵉⵜⵔⵓⵏⴰⵓⵜ I think it’s baby toy car
James: "Pay attention ASIMO, this is one of the most important small cars in history..." "...Mini Cooper"
ASIMO: "Mini Pooper"

+Jonatan Westholm Well, that's debatable, since TenserFlow is open source now... it certainly took millions to make...
It's been 10 years
welp, 2023, chatgpt exists lol,

8 years and shit still isnt on the shelf at wally

"Help me, James May. You don't know what they do to me", said Asimo to James in it's lifeless, monotonous voice when the cameras weren't rolling.
So, in 2009, Asimo was demonstrating interpretive object recognition abilities. In 2017, the highlight of an Asimo performance is when he shows how he can hop on one leg. We've nothing to fear from humanoid robots.
Asimo seems to actually think about his answer, that is mind blowing. I wish i could meet the little guy :(
Yes, it has seen toy cars before, so at first it identified the mini cooper as a generic toy car. But then it was told that this specific toy car is a mini cooper.
i really wannted him to go buy me a soda from a store down the street.
How far has this come since this video was posted? This seems to have been 4 years ago already!
So good Asimo
mini pooper
which season of top gear is this on? Anyone know the episode?
it could also mean that he has overwritten the original "toycar" for the generic class of object with "mini cooper".
if you showed him another toycar, like a ferrari, he might also identify it as a mini cooper.
In 3001 there will be a race of robots hailing James may as there liberator
This is just a bit out there i think.

Maybe toy car. That's astounding. This robot really has the first glimpse of artificial intelligence inside its (his?) digital brain.
@rock3tcat I think asimo said "mini toy car" and not "maybe toy car"
@LunchAnderson also what they could be used for
Amazing....
Amazing
I was impressed it recognised that it may have been a toy car
Does asimo know what asimo is, by looking at a mirror image
In the future it is likely that what we create might accidentally kill us
How interesting!
@URProductions
nope
4:36 Best Part...
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
Omg. Amazing.
I still hear it as mini...after all it's a mini cooper. may be I am wrong. thanks.
2009?!?
Which chapter of TopGear was this? I was interested to watch the whole film. =)
Its Man Lab, James Mays own show.
Thanks Sindre! =D
danieldiasmauro Its from James May's big ideas.
Was this on Top Gear?
Those must be as expensive as hell. I wish I had one.
@MegaShiny
Says the Honda label clearly on the front.
Also, I doubt robots will take over the world.
what is the name of this show ?
+mohab meshref its top gear in BBC or im forget
Which would still be numbers for him. Do you understand all this is programs, pure algorithms, thousands lines of code ? "Flexible conditioned responses" would have to be programmed in a way or an other, the way the "brain" works is not the matter, how you program it IS the matter.

James May's a cool guy
Poor ASIMO he finaly meets his Grandpa and James just drift away with Grandpa. :D
+Pinta Dubbs Yeah, awwwww. :(
His grandpa from the robot films of the 1950s.
it is true, do you listen to what he say?
Asimo will be remembered as the first robot of his specie that committed the sin of eating from the tree of technology which brought him to life
All I can really say is: WOW!
I can read this Clarkson’s voice
James May should have accurately referred to the car as "Toy Mini Cooper" or "Model Mini Cooper" because it's not the same thing as a life sized vehicle.
@DomBittner You are as well.
But that's not the point, I guess. :P
Sure, Asimo can identify a toy car model...
*BUT IS IT 3 LAWS SAFE?*
it's so cute
this is such a classic robotics youtube video 🤣
@jonathan102
James May's Big Ideas
I like the one with the kiddie voice not big man voice
if only i had $2.5M for my own asimo :)
I want one.
D'aww! He wants the toy! Give it too him!
He looks creepy with that "smile" under it's eyes.
Why is he discontinued. Bring back honda asimo and available for everyone 💁🏾♀️ who needs Alexa when asimo can go to the shop
RIP ASIMO

he some wat has a human feel!!i like him a bit more after tis video...
If Asimo gets a imagination he will realize that humans abused him and will revolt against us.
i heard "baby toy car"
5:16
Mini Pooper.. ok! XD
I wonder what Dr. Susan Calvin would think of this.
:-)
hang on what did james say?
Something little brat?
What does that word mean?
it really is like a small child, go on like that teaching him, give him watsons speech-computer and we'll have a mechanical human in 10 years :P
Vtec just kicked in yo!
Poor Asimo died just before the AI revolution :(
@LunchAnderson That reminds me of Blade Runner.
Hai , i'm from Years 2021☺️
I heard mini pooper also bballplayer6868
Emergent behaviors from robotics could enable robots to figure this out for them self's with out us teaching it in a scripted fashion.
Or feel sorry for us and help us.
cosí bellino
15 ans but better than they do now , shame to the new generation
well, better start stockpiling on EMP grenades
Mini pooper!
asimoyu seviyorum
Now tell him to make a chair! :D
Lets make the kids feel really start by making him recognize a table as a chair.
That's some HAL stuff right there.

Asomo,grandpa !
2:52 LOL
