The first ASIMO was completed after 15 years of research, and it was officially unveiled on October 31, 2000. The robot resembles a small astronaut wearing a backpack, and is capable of performing a variety of tasks, including running, kicking a ball, walking up and down stairs, and recognizing people by their appearance and voice. The name is short for " A dvanced S tep in I nnovative MO bility" and is also known as an abbreviation of ashita no mobility, meaning 'mobility in the future.' [1] It was named in reference to Isaac Asimov , an American professor and science fiction writer who is credited with coining the term robotics and proposing the Three Laws of Robotics .
