Living with Robots

One of the highlights of An's Sundance trip was being introduced to Asimo, Honda's "humanoid robot." Since Honda is one of the festival's sponsors, the child-sized droid made an appearance during the festival. Asimo was able to shake An's hand, wave back when she waved, and walk in the direction she pointed to. The company also premiered the documentary short "Living with Robots" at the festival, directed by Joe Berlinger of Radical Media. The film talks about the history of Asimo's development, how robots have been viewed by society and what the future holds with new technology. This is the sixth short as part of the Dream The Impossible series commissioned by Honda.
