EngineAI T800 is a full-size bipedal humanoid (1.73 m, 75 kg official) with 29 body DoF excluding dexterous hand, 450 N·m peak joint torque, and a claimed 4-5 hour solid-state battery runtime. It launched on 2025-12-02 from 180,000 yuan with four versions and was demonstrated at CES 2026. In May 2026, EngineAI announced mass production with first batch delivery and a 10,000-unit scalable capability. However, all strong evidence is company-reported. No named customer deployment, autonomous task execution, or independent verification was found. addoobot lists conflicting specs (84.5 kg, 2 h runtime, 1.22 kWh ternary battery) that lower confidence in endurance

Honda ASIMO is a retired bipedal research humanoid, first unveiled in 2000 and final active in 2022. The 2011 final version is reported as 130 cm tall, with 57 DoF, walking at 2.7 km/h and running at 9 km/h, powered by a 51.8V lithium-ion battery. Weight is conflicting at 54 kg or 48 kg. ASIMO demonstrated walking, running, hopping, stair climbing, push recovery, face/voice recognition, and serving drinks, but all evidence is from secondary sources or video titles; no official Honda spec sheet, independent benchmark, or commercial deployment is available. It was never sold, only leased to museums and events, and is not currently purchasable
