ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility)[1] is a humanoid robot created by Honda in 2000.

In 2002, there were 20 units of the first ASIMO model produced;[2] three different ASIMO models subsequently followed. As of February 2009, there were over 100 ASIMO units in existence.[3]

In July of 2018, Honda stated that it would be ceasing all development and production of ASIMO robots in order to focus on more practical applications using the technology developed through ASIMO's lifespan.[4][5][6] It made its last active appearance in March 2022, as Honda announced the retirement of ASIMO to concentrate on remote-controlled, avatar-style robotic technology.[7][8]
