Who is this? Where would you see this? (Since John, as in "John and Heather", was sitting next to me when I took this photo, he has to include the woman's name for full credit. )

Answer:
This is ASIMO, a robot built by Honda, who you can see performing inside Disneyland's Innoventions building. ASIMO's name is an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative MObility. The woman's name is Sarah McGuire. Or maybe Maguire. I'm not sure exactly how it's spelled.

The following are a couple shots of an earlier model. The one John and I saw is the latest version, that had arrived at Disneyland a month ago.

ASIMO in an Innoventions demonstration.

John and Heather
This is Asimo, the robot built by Honda. He resides in the Innoventions building in Tomorrowland. I was not with you guys, so I do not know what the woman's name is. John says that he is suffering from CRS (Can't remember s**t) and he has spaced on the woman's name.
-- Honestly, I would have been amazed if he actually remembered the woman's name! I had to tap out a note in my cell phone's notepad as soon as she introduced herself so I'd be sure to remember, myself!

I’m guessing Asimo in Innoventions.

Jayson Weingarten
That is the ASIMO robot in Innoventions.
