Honda avatar robots are capable of performing highly precise tasks intuitively, bridging the gap of physical distance and eliminating travel time for operators. This innovation is expected to add new value by allowing operators to demonstrate expertise in urgent situations like life-saving activities and conduct tasks in hazardous environments such as underwater or outer space. The key focus of the Avatar Robot’s development is a precise, multi-fingered hand that can operate human-designed tools while remaining intuitive to use. Additionally, the incorporation of “AI-supported remote control” technology aims to anticipate operator intentions and adjust the robotic hand’s movements accordingly, providing a natural operability experience and overcoming communication delays and challenges associated with operating through a camera feed.

Miimo is a battery-powered robotic lawn mower and operates quietly at night and mulches grass clippings, eliminating the need for collection. Programmed to adhere to the customer’s specifications, it reduces the user’s lawn maintenance efforts. Equipped with two-wheel motors, a lithium-ion battery, a blade motor and an ECU for control, Miimo also features a control panel for status and settings, obstruction sensors and a blade disc with three blades. The docking station can be powered by household electricity. It not only charges Miimo but also communicates mowing area and docking location signals to the unit, enhancing its autonomy and efficiency.

The UNI-ONE is a hands-free personal mobility device which offers enhanced mobility and freedom from physical constraints. With two drive wheels and advanced control technology, it ensures stable movement and minimizes the risk of tipping over by automatically adjusting to a “low position” when a potential fall is detected. Notably, even in the low position, the UNI-ONE remains steerable through the use of a joystick, providing users with a secure and versatile means of transportation.
