Honda · Humanoid · 1996
Unveiled in December 1996, Honda's P2 was the world's first self-regulating, wireless bipedal humanoid — a landmark that made global headlines and led directly to ASIMO. Standing 1.82 m and 210 kg, it carried its computer, motor drives, battery and radio inside its torso, letting it walk untethered at ~2 km/h, climb up and down stairs (using a six-axis foot force sensor and ZMP control), push carts and tighten bolts. It was recognised as an IEEE Milestone in April 2026.
