Asimo Humanoid Robot Challenges Obama in Soccer

Honda Beat aside, Asimo has to be the cutest Honda ever built. The company’s bipedal humanoid robot never fails to bring cheer wherever it goes, and even US President Barack Obama falls for its charms here.

ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, greeted the president in English: “Mr. President, I am ASIMO, a humanoid robot. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

And that’s not all, as ASIMO chit-chatted and even kicked a soccer ball to President Obama who said he was “impressed” with the robot – though, from the CNN video, it does seem that ASIMO’s jumping act was a little bit…awkward.

“I keep training every day so that someday in the future I can help people in their homes,” ASIMO told the president.
