<DIV align="left">ASIMO has already proven itself to be pretty <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asimo-burns-as-yo-yo-ma-fiddles/">multi-talented</A>, but it looks like it's now added yet another trick to its repertoire, with a pair of researchers giving it the ability to understand three people speaking at once. That was done with the aid of eight microphones and a specially-designed software program dubbed HARK, which works out where each voice is coming from and isolates it from other sounds. Right now, however, that's only being used to referee games of rock-paper-scissors, with each individual shouting out their choice at once, but the researchers eventually hope to get ASIMO up to the level of humans' ability to listen at a cocktail party, although they admit that is still a "long way" off.<BR /></DIV>
