Notable
Kawasaki's full-size bipedal RHP humanoid developed since 2015 and publicly debuted at iREX 2017, with a fully untethered battery-powered walking demo shown in 2019. Joints are driven by electric motors; hydraulic actuation has been researched as a future option but is not used in production units.
