Honda ASIMO vs Xiaomi CyberOne V2

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

Xiaomi CyberOne V2 is the second-generation of Xiaomi's biped humanoid, described as roughly 1.70 m tall and shown publicly at Xiaomi's April 2026 Investor Day, at the World Robot Conference in August 2026 and at IFA Berlin in September 2026. Its only quantified capability evidence is a company-reported self-tapping nut-installation task on Xiaomi's own Beijing EV assembly line: 90.2% success over a three-hour autonomous run inside a 76-second cycle, rising to about 98% after roughly four months of on-site application. Xiaomi also reports a redesigned hand at human scale with degrees of freedom in the 22–27 range, full-palm touch, 150,000-cycle durability and evaporative cooling, and has open-sourced a 4.7-billion-parameter VLA model. Nothing here is independently verified: there is no Xiaomi spec sheet, no price, no external customer, and the six videos in the source set are title-only
