Honda inquiry engineers have present Asimo the ability to understand three spokesperson at once , thanks to an array of eight microphones that can recognize each voice individually . The credit software program , HARK , can treat the commands with 70 - 80 percentage accuracy and the microphones are placed all over Asimo ’s head word and body for spatial acknowledgment purposes . The current app for this engineering is using Asimo as a judge for verbal Paper - Rock - Scissors , where everyone call out their answer at once , and Asimo resolve who tell what , and who wins . Though a great technical effort , this feel less glamourous than the robot ’s stint as orchestra conductor , no ? [ New Scientist ]
