    Remember 'Asimo', the world's most advanced humanoid robot? Well, now it has been upgraded to an all new version.



    The robot was first unveiled in 2000 and has taken literal steps, hops and jumps forward since its introduction.

    But the new smarter Asimo can now recognize multiple faces and voices of people simultaneously, and can think on the move.

    Perhaps most impressive though is that the all-new Asimo features multi-fingered hands.

    That means it can complete complex tasks such as unscrewing the lid from a glass bottle and twisting off its cap.

    It can even hold a soft paper cup to pour liquid into without squashing the cup.

    Asimo is now making its European debut in Brussels, Belgium
