In the original Star Wars movie, filmmaker George Lucas envisioned robots, or "droids," many of them bipedal and looking in a general sense like humans, as being of vital importance in helping maintain the material infrastructure of society. The Fundamental Research Center was established in April 1986, and has engaged in the development of the bipedal walking humanoid robot, ASIMO, and HondaJet, as well as fundamental research on the bio- and energy-sector. For example, the Basilisk Lizard is famous for its bipedal (two-footed) flight across water, which is made possible in part by fringes on the hind toes. |
