ASIMO never made it off stage, and Honda never prioritized shipping it. We definitely never saw ASIMO milling around a crowded event and serving drinks and handing out gift bags. It was never remote controllable by unskilled operators. It doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to come up with scenarios where even a remote controlled bot would be incredibly useful to society. If Honda never productized it or developed Asimo into something practical, then we can only speculate the reasons why. But that's on Honda for failing to follow through, ultimately.
