| Smoother and more Stable Walking | Intelligent Real-Time Flexible Walking |
 |
 |
|
| The introduction of intelligent, real-time, flexible-walking technology allowed ASIMO to walk continuously while changing directions, and gave the robot even greater stability in response to sudden movements. |

| Earlier Ways of Walking |
|
 |
|
For Robots up to P3
|
 |
|
|
For example, when the P3 robot turned sharply when walking straight, its movement was awkward because it had to stop to make the turn. |
|
|
 |
|
Because each walking pattern has a different stride(time per step),
the robot could not change its stride(time per step) flexibly. |
|
Creating Earlier Walking Patterns
Earlier walking technology allowed roughly two different walking patterns. |
|
 |
|
| When walking in a straight line, the robot followed an ordered pattern of start-acceleration walking, steady speed walking and deceleration-stop walking, all of which was stored as time series data. |
