There are many humanoids out there, but Honda’s two-legged, super-advanced Asimo is certainly one of the coolest. And if you’re a hardcore robot geek, you can get it now on your computer desktop via a new Adobe Air app.

The widget can be installed on Windows XP/Vista or 7 PCs as well as Macs with OS X 10.4 or higher on board. Your desktop Asimo then walks around on the screen, jumps, plays soccer, and performs his famous dance (there’s also a memo pad and Google search to make him a bit more useful).

You can download the Asimo widget from here.
