Ft 3 inch tall and weighs 53 kilograms. One could call
it the foundation for the future generation of robotics.It
took over 15 years of extensive research to get it in
this shape. No. 2: Kawada HRP-4 A slim,fast and more advanced
robot by the Japanese. No. 3: Aldebaran Nao One of the
cutest and most intelligent robots,the Aldebaran Nao can

ASIMO
is a humanoid robot created by Honda. Standing at 130
centimeters (4 feet 3 inches) and weighing 54 kilograms
(114 pounds), the robot resembles a small astronaut wearing
a backpack and can walk or run on two feet at speeds up
to 6 km/h (4.3 mph), matching EMIEW. ASIMO was created
at Honda's Research & Development Wako Fundamental Technical
Research Center in Japan. It is the current model in a
line of twelve that began in 1986 with E0. ASIMO resembles
a child in size and is the most human-like robot HONDA
has made so far. The robot has 7 DOF (Degrees of freedom)
in each arm - two joints of 3 DOF, shoulder and wrist,
giving "Six degrees of freedom" and 1 DOF at the elbow;
6 DOF in each leg - 3 DOF at the crotch, 2 DOF at the
ankle and 1 DOF at the knee; and 3 DOF in the neck joint.
The hands have 2 DOF - 1 DOF in each thumb and 1 in each
finger. This gives a total of 34 DOF in all joints. The
name is an acronym for "Advanced Step in Innovative MObility".
Online magazine The Future Of Things (TFOT) states that
Honda did not name the robot in reference to science fiction
writer and inventor of the Three Laws of Robotics, Isaac
Asimov. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimo 10:49
HRP-4C
Miim's Human-like Walking
AIST
has succeeded in making HRP-4C Miim walk like a human
being. Her knees are stretched by up/down motion of the
waist, the single-toe supporting realizes longer strides,
and she mimics the swing motion of human legs. Technical
detail is presented in "Human-Like Walking with Toe Supporting
for Humanoids," by Kanako Miura, Mitsuharu Morisawa, Fumio
Kanehiro, Shuuji Kajita, Kenji Kaneko, and Kazuhito Yokoi,
