THE ROBOT AND THE PRINCE...
25 May 2005 - Honda (UK)

On Tuesday 24 May, Honda''s ASIMO robot performed a double act with HRH Prince Andrew the Duke of York to open one of the company''s flagship dealers Lings of Lowestoft.

ASIMO presented the scissors to cut the ribbon and officially unveil the European brand centre, which sells the entire Honda range – cars, bikes, ATVs, lawnmowers and power equipment.

While ASIMO is not yet for sale, customers then had the opportunity to familiarise
themselves with Honda''s vast and diverse product range whilst local school children took the opportunity to be entertained by the world’s most advanced humanoid robot. ASIMO appeared in four performances throughout the afternoon demonstrating how exciting and relevant science is when people really apply themselves.

Pictured here with the Duke of York and ASIMO is Chris Jarry, Managing Director of
Lings.
