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 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
