Reference to Isaac Asimov

Honda officially claims that "ASIMO" is not a reference to Isaac Asimov. So is the name merely a coincidence? Anyone with a high school diploma should be able to figure out that this is not the case; I think it's more appropriate to write in the introduction that ASIMO is named after Isaac Asimov than to echo the "contrary to popular belief...."

What does a gyroscope do?

Is this correct?

gyroscope [ used to determine ] the overall orientation relative to the ground horizon
