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

MenteeBot V3 has stronger source-backed evidence than the previous weak pack: official specs list a 175 cm, 70 kg, 40-DoF biped with 25 kg carry capacity and 1.5 m/s speed, and Mentee/CTech report a two-robot autonomous warehouse demo moving 32 boxes in an 18-minute unedited run. Still score conservatively: there is no named customer deployment, independent benchmark, intervention-rate data, price, or public purchase path, and Mobileye's SEC filing explicitly cautions that humanoid commercialization remains uncertain
