Current evidence comparison for Honda ASIMO and Spirit AI Moz1.
Honda ASIMO
Honda
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
Spirit AI Moz1
Spirit AI
Spirit AI Moz1 is a Chinese wheeled humanoid with 26 DoF, dual 7-DoF force-controlled arms, and an omnidirectional base, running the Spirit VLA model. Evidence includes RoboBoom directory specs (160 cm, 70 kg, 3 h runtime, $150,000 price) and company-related demos of long-horizon room tidying from a single instruction, including a single-take video claimed to have zero teleoperation. Gasgoo reports Moz robots in JD.com retail settings for customer interaction. No official product page, official price, battery capacity, or independent endurance/autonomy verification was found; video titles for several demos are not transcribed. The CATL battery line deployment is attributed to Xiaomo, not Moz1, and must not be credited here
