Honda · Humanoid · 1997
Completed in September 1997, Honda's P3 was the world's first fully self-contained (completely independent) bipedal humanoid walking robot. By revising materials and adopting distributed control, Honda shrank the earlier P2 to 1.6 m and 130 kg — closer to a size suited to human living spaces — while walking at ~2 km/h and climbing stairs. P3 was loaned to Japan's AIST in 1998, helping kick-start the national Humanoid Robotics Project, and was the final step before ASIMO.
