Robot Watch attended ASIMO’s 9th birthday party last September, and took a bunch of pictures of the precursors to the capable little robot that we’re familiar with today. Check out pics of the whole series, after the jump.

I like how ASIMO looks back the ancestor line in the first picture. A bit confused though cause the look so scary.

Boy, that takes me back. I seem to remember seeing a show on PBS years ago about one of the older ones. I had no idea those things were part of the ASIMO program!

Its interesting looking back over ASIMO’s evolution. For some reason I find P1 scary. (Its something to do with its huge head?).

E5 looks like the robots from the Silent Running film, but with much longer legs.

Yet strangely they’ve yet to find the missing link between the swimming robots and walking robots!
