"Honda's concept is to create a robot that can help around the house, or assist the elderly or someone confined to a wheelchair or bed, that's why ASIMO is just 1.3 metres high so he can communicate eye-to-eye with someone seated in a chair, while still being able to operate light switches and door knobs, and work at tables and work benches.

The company is called AMEC out of Montreal, Canada.Anyway, not normally a topic I cover, but I couldn't resist. Here is the article if...

Honda Cars : New Honda Hybrid in the Works to Properly Compete with the Toyota Prius | 2013 New Honda Car Reviews 0

The Toyota Prius has pretty much dominated the Hybrid battle, at least as far as numbers are concerned. This is partly due to the fact that the Prius has alot of usable space, especially considering that it is a hatchback. In my neck of the woods, the Prius is the Taxi cab of choice (and who can blame them, great on gas with flexible storage space). The Honda Civic has its battery located between the trunk and rear seat, limiting the trunk space...

The difference is that on a hybrid, that engine is supplemented with an electric motor. In Honda's case, the system is known as Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). Both the gas engine and the electric motor are used to propel the car. The electric motor on the Civic Hybrid is sandwiched between...
