Honda's putting its Asimo robot through its paces this week at the Youth Engineering Summit, which is being held in the Midlands. He's a clever little number, that can (shock) climb stairs. And judging by this pic it looks like he can dance with the best of them, too.

Apparently wheeling out Asimo is meant to encourage these kids to believe that they can get really excited about science and engineering. Well, I don't know about that.

But I do know that I like pictures of robots.
