On Euronews Futuris was a report about our robots (Lucy, Veronica, ALTACRO, Anty,...). The movies can be seen on our website. It is available in 7 languages.

Bill gates has written an interesting article about robots in scientific american: a robot in every home

Honda has a site with 90-second TV advertisements featuring ASIMO. The ads depict ASIMO in a museum setting, engaging with a range of exhibits and everyday objects to demonstrate the robot’s human qualities and advanced technology. It closes with the thought: ‘More forwards please’ – which represents Honda’s continual push for technological innovation. http://www.honda.co.uk /asimo/

The well know humanoid robot ASIMO of Honda will come to Brussels on 22 September 2006, the entrance is free.

Place: Tentation (Lakensestraat 28 in 1000 Brussels) start at 19:00
