"We have all grown up with movies like Star Wars and Terminator and have a very definitive perception of what robots are.

"We are trying to change that perception with Asimo.

"The reality of humanoid robots is going to be much different from what we have seen on television."

"We need Asimo to be smart enough to understand what we want it to do and they go and do it.

"We are still in the infancy of artificial intelligence."
