It has been long ago since Honda announced the first humanoid robot on the market - and they named it Asimo. After 13 years (from 1997), it got a fresh design, which now looks like an astronaut :D.
Obviously, the newest, P4 design is the best one (oh, really? xD) and sure brings a lot of improvements, such as lowering the robots weight, increasing its flexibility etc.
I just keep wondering, when will be the day when robots gonna replace our moms - for cooking, cleaning, ironing, washing etc :D
