Honda announced a new version of its humanoid robot Asimo

The new model, which Honda plans to begin leasing next month, can greet and recognize people, as well as perform advanced commands such as moving in the direction indicated by reading hand gestures.

If asked, it can even provide real-time information such as the weather by tapping into the Internet or other network sources.


Asimo is 4 feet tall, and resembles an astronaut, complete with bubble face plate and large backpack.
