Honda · Humanoid · 2017
Honda R&D's experimental disaster-response and plant-inspection humanoid, revealed at IROS 2017 as a more rugged, practical successor direction to ASIMO after the Fukushima disaster. At 1.68 m and 85 kg (including a 1,000-Wh lithium-ion battery good for ~90 minutes), E2-DR is only 25 cm 'thick', letting it turn sideways and squeeze through 30 cm gaps common in factories. It has 33 degrees of freedom (8 per arm, 6 per leg, plus torso, hands and head) and can rotate its torso 180° to reverse its knees for climbing steep stairs and ladders. It was designed to walk rough terrain, climb, and inspect hazardous industrial environments.
