ASIMO (which is Japanese for legs, and also means Advanced Step in Innovative MObility) became the poster bot of the android world for its ability to do two-legged locomotion. ASIMO, a product of Honda Motor Company, can walk human-style on at up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph). If that was too slow to impress you, wait till you see the new, improved, and faster ASIMO. It took Honda 20 years to do it but now the bot can run - with both feet leaving the ground for .08 seconds!

Watch the video taken by achmedchalabi666 at the 2007 CES and you'll agree. He's come a long way, baby. And wherever he's heading, he'll get there a lot faster.
