HW 9: ASIMO Redux

So for tonight, you are going to look at one of the more famous humanoid robots ever made.  So, ASIMO was made by Honda, and this is the second version of the robot.  (The word in the title 'redux' means 'redo' btw.)  You are going to use two difference sources to read from:

First, use this article from Engadget.  It's a nice introduction, includes a video.

Next, read over this more in-depth article from the tech site Spectrum.  It has more specifics about the robot, and another video.

You are going to use the standard response, with one addition: also discuss how this new version of ASIMO is improved over the original version.

Remember, we are all aiming to improve our writing, so I want to start seeing those responses in paragraph format.  Good luck!
