Honda has revealed its brand-new in-dash connectivity system, which will certainly let drivers accessibility popular music, radio, and additional content using a smartphone application. Called HondaLink, the brand-new service appears comparable to GM’s MyLink, and will certainly make its launching with the 2013 edition of the Honda Accord. Your smartphone will act as a “conduit to a wide range of cloud-based media,” powered by material from Aha Radio– including audiobooks, podcasts, radio stations, and audio news feeds for your Twitter and Facebook accounts. Content is pre-selected by means of the smartphone application, and every little thing is controlled through a combination of tone commands and both in-dash and guiding wheel-based controls when your phone is linked.

Honda’s also establishing an EV-centric variation of the …

He worlds most advanced robot… The robot, called Asimo, is the end product of 22 years of research by scientists all over the world, including a team at Edinburgh University. He can walk, run, dance and even play football.. ASIMO is Honda Motor Company’s renowned humanoid robot, created at Honda’s Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center in Japan. This version is the current model in a line of eleven that began in 1986 with E0. Officially, the name is an acronym for “Advanced Step in Innovative MObility”. Honda’s official statements claim that the robot’s name is not a reference to science fiction writer and inventor of the Three Laws of Robotics, Isaac Asimov. As of February 2009, there are over 100 ASIMO units in existence. Each one costs just under million to manufacture. [Adapted from Wikipedia]

This footage was shot at the 2008 Japan! Culture + Hyperculture Festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. It includes a demostration of two life-sized robots. The Toyota Partner Robot is a trumpet player who plays three songs. I didn’t recognize the first tune. The second tune is a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You.” The third tune is a medley of the following Disney songs: “Hi Ho”, “Whistle While You Work”, “When You Wish Upon a Star”, and “The Mickey Mouse Club March”. The second robot in this clip is the Honda Asimo, who can walk, talk, run, and even walk up and down a flight of steps.

Honda has been very silent about Asimo, its super-advanced humanoid robot, in recent years. After introducing the first version in 2000, Honda showed several versions through 2005, until the company finally took the wraps off a new version earlier today in Tokyo. This model is the thinnest, fastest, and most “intelligent” Asimo yet.

At 48kg, the Asimo that was shown today is 6kg lighter than the previous model. He now has 57 joints in his body (23 more) and walks at 9km/h (instead of 6km/h).

Honda says that Asimos’s improved “intelligence” makes it possible for the robot to track a conversation between different people, recognizing the faces and voices of everyone involved (even when severla people speak simultaneously).

Another plus in the intelligence department: Asimo can now temporarily stop a certain action and resume it after performing a different task in between (for example opening a can of beer and pouring it into a glass – something, which wasn’t possible before either).

If told, Asimo can kick a ball or start hopping now, too – on one or two legs. He can now even hop in a circular pattern.

And that’s not all: according to Honda, the robot “is now capable of predicting the direction a person will walk within the next few seconds based on information from pre-set space sensors and quickly determining to take an alternate path to avoid a collision with the person if the estimated locations of the person and the ASIMO intersect.”

The Robocalypse is near.

Here’s a video (in Japanese, but that doesn’t matter too much in this case):

Wondering what the electric version of Honda’s Fit will look like? We figure it’ll look an awful lot like the normal Honda Fit, but if that’s not enough for you then gaze upon the concept above. It’s set to be unveiled soon in Geneva, called simply the “Honda EV Concept.” The company Soichiro built promises it “hints strongly at the direction and styling for Honda’s upcoming production battery electric vehicle, the Fit EV,” which is due to hit the US and Japan next year. Honda will also show off a new plug-in hybrid architecture, though based on what you can see in the pictures below there’s a good chance it’ll be making an appearance without a body. Should be a light one, then.
