Watch ASIMO: Do androids dream of electric sheep? video in the Videos section
Crave TV caught up with Honda's Asimo robot at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and interviewed his keeper, Geoffrey Smith. Asimo is a fully mobile, human-like robot. Asimo has met royalty, walked the red carpet at a Hollywood premier and been inducted into the robot hall of fame.
Asimo's engineers don't simply face a technical challenge in bringing this robot to life, but also a social one. Smith explains how Honda has consciously made design decisions that keep Asimo divided from humans so as to remain non-threatening. Crave also asks, "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" -CS

This is a great insert! But unfortunately the video keeps on breaking up. Perhaps you should check you bandwidth? BBC.co.uk has options where you can choose the quality. The video breaking up spoils the insert. Good luck with your new site!
