First Non-Human to Open NY Stock Exchange

Tuesday, 05 February 2002 By YUGO
Or any Stock Exchange for that matter. A robot is going to open the NY Stock Exchange on Feb 14. It's the Honda Robot called Asimo (Nipponised version of Asimov?). It's going to ring the bell that opens the market. This bucket bolts can now negotiate stairs and slopes and even change direction while negotiating them apparently. And if you think that's no big deal and that you could get your Lego Mindstorm Robot kit to do the same thing check out the vids available at ASIMO
