ASIMO travelled to Essen, Germany this week to
attend IdeenPark, a major event in the country that aims to inspire young
people to study science, technology and engineering.
The IdeenPark is an
exciting showcase of cutting-edge innovation for families and is a
collaboration of more than 120 partners from research, science, education and
business, as well as the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
ASIMO's attendance supports Honda's own philosophy which is to "foster a spirited and
dynamic people and society for the next generation." Toward this goal,
Honda implements and engages with various social activities, such as IdeenPark,
which are designed to communicate to young people the importance and joy of
having dreams, taking on new challenges, and creating things.
ASIMO was a star of the opening
night, named the ‘Night of Innovation', and will stay at the 60,000 square
meter exhibition centre until the 16th August.
During its
time at IdeenPark, Honda's humanoid robot will appear in ten fast paced shows
and demonstrate to the gathered crowds its advanced mobility and intelligence
technologies.
The free to
enter event is expected to attract nearly half a million children, young people
and their families and is the fourth event of its kind to be held in Germany.
The first three were held in Gelsenkirchen, Hannover and Stuttgart.
ASIMO
is the culmination of over a quarter of a century of research into humanoid
robotics by Honda, which continues to this day.
