There are many other innovations incorporated into this next-generation ASIMO, such as:

Hip rotational joint - increased walking speed was achieved by the proactive rotation of the hips in addition to swinging of the arms, which balance the reaction force generated when the legs swing forward during running or walking.

Wrist bending joint - the movement of the wrist area is more flexible due to two additional axes in each wrist.

Thumb joint - previously, one motor operated all five fingers. With addition of a motor that operates the thumb independently, ASIMO can now hold objects of various shapes.

Neck joint - with an additional axis added to its neck joint, ASIMO's movements are more expressive.
