The future of technology is constantly evolving and unpredictable. Check this out! Honda, the Japanese car manufacturer, revealed a new version of its robot, Asimo. The human-shaped robot can now run faster by itself than other robots, open a bottle, pour a drink and even hop on one foot…not certain why the hopping but it’s a feat for the creators. Is Asimo really the smartest robot so far? Maybe!
These robots and similar projects are not only about emerging technology but they play a role in helping to develop artificial intelligence (AI). We move our body parts effortlessly and autonomously and now a team of scientists, engineers and programmers can develop a robot that has perceptions of a world that’s continuously changing. These robotic movements will hopefully mimic the natural flow of human movements. Could you imagine robots having the ability to sense things and use sonar to measure distance and depth?
These mechanisms are innovative and awe-inspiring but as technology emerges, these are even bigger steps towards AI and we can use these cutting edge novelties where humans dare not go… For instance, “Some of the robot's technology was used to develop a robotic arm with the intention of helping with the nuclear crisis in northeastern Japan.”
Is this our future? Will we have domestic robots/friends in our homes with some level of common sense? What’s your take...

it will be years before evidence is considered "conclusive", but we do know that it certainly can't hurt
