Toyota Gets Back Into Humanoid Robots With New T-HR3 - IEEE Spectrum
IEEE.orgSign InJoin IEEE Robotics # Toyota Gets Back Into Humanoid Robots With New T-HR3 ## It's been about a decade, but Toyota is finally doing humanoid robots again Evan Ackerman 22 Nov 2017 Toyota's new T-HR3 humanoid robot. Image: Toyota Toyota has announced the T-HR3, a brand-new, third-generation humanoid robot. It’s 1.5-meter tall, weighs 75 kilograms, and has 32 degrees of torque-controlled freedom plus a pair of 10 fingered hands. At first glance, it appears to be very capable, with excellent balance and coordination, and Toyota has decided to approach autonomy by keeping a human in the loop inside of a sophisticated, immersive “Master Maneuvering System.” [...] From the press release: > Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) today revealed T-HR3, the company's third generation humanoid robot. Toyota's latest robotics platform, designed and developed by Toyota's Partner Robot Division, will explore new technologies for safely managing physical interactions between robots and their surroundings, as well as a new remote maneuvering system that mirrors user movements to the robot. > > T-HR3 reflects Toyota's broad-based exploration of how advanced technologies can help to meet people's unique mobility needs. T-HR3 represents an evolution from previous generation instrument-playing humanoid robots, which were created to test the precise positioning of joints and pre-programmed movements… [...] WIPL-D 17 Apr 2026 ieee-news ## IEEE Entrepreneurship Connects Hardware Startups With Investors Its events feature networking opportunities and pitch contests Joanna Goodrich 16 Apr 2026 trains ## Optical Fiber Networks Can Keep Rail Networks Safe Distributed acoustic sensing uses existing fiber to measure unexpected vibrations Michelle Hampson 16 Apr 2026 internet-shutdowns ## Stealth Signals Are Bypassing Iran’s Internet Blackout Files hidden in satellite TV broadcasts keep information flowing Evan Alireza Firoozi 15 Apr 2026 cyberattack ## Server Failures Turn Safe Cars Into Costly Dead Weight Cybersecurity incident leaves hundreds of U.S. drivers stranded Willie D.

Maxvision buys core robot assets of Aldebaran, including Nao and Pepper - The Robot Report
Founded in 2005, Paris-based Aldebaran focused on the design, development, production, and commercialization of humanoid robots. The company served a wide range of sectors, including education, scientific research, healthcare, and retail. Aldebaran designed its bipedal Nao and wheeled Pepper to be non-threatening. The robots are shorter than adults and are designed with curved white surfaces. Nao, Aldebaran’s first system, replaced Honda’s Asimo in the annual RoboCup soccer tournaments. The company released the first version of Pepper in 2014. The company said it had sold about 20,000 Nao robots and 17,000 Pepper humanoids to 70 countries, but it stopped producing Pepper in 2020 or 2021. In June, a judicial panel put Aldebaran in receivership. [...]
Honda reportedly retires the iconic Asimo | TechCrunch
When asked for more details, a Honda representative told me that “Honda continues humanoid robot development. The robot development team at R&D is still in place.” I asked for particulars and was told that “Far from retiring, ASIMO continues to perform at locations across the US inspiring young people and encouraging them to choose a career in STEM.” Honda is ceasing development of Asimo, the humanoid robot that has delighted audiences at trade shows for years but never really matured into anything more than that, the Nikkei reports. But while the venerable bot itself is bowing out, the technology that made it so impressive will live on in other products, robotic and otherwise. Asimo (named, of course, after science fiction pioneer Isaac Asimov) is older than you might guess: although it was revealed in 2000 as the first credibly bipedal walking robot, it had at that point been under development for more than a decade. But the problem proved, and still proves, harder than anyone guessed. Even the latest humanoid robots fail spectacularly at the most ordinary tasks that humans do without thinking. Asimo, which operated in a sort of semi-pre-programmed manner, was far behind even these limited capabilities. When asked for more details, a Honda representative told me that “Honda continues humanoid robot development. The robot development team at R&D is still in place.” I asked for particulars and was told that “Far from retiring, ASIMO continues to perform at locations across the US inspiring young people and encouraging them to choose a career in STEM.”

Honda's new generation ASIMO robot goes to Disneyland
New Atlas Logo # Honda's new generation ASIMO robot goes to Disneyland Inline image New Atlas New Atlas ASIMO on stage at Disneyland ASIMO on stage at Disneyland Scroll for more August 30, 2007 A new version of Honda’s popular humanoid robot, ASIMO, is now appearing in its very own stage show at Disneyland in California. Twenty years in the making, the first generation ASIMO has undergone numerous improvements and has even appeared as a spokesperson for Honda , featuring in a series of television advertisements in the UK. [...] The latest enhancements to ASIMO (which is short for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) include the ability to run at four miles per hour and increased artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for improved human interaction. The advanced AI capabilities allow this latest version ASIMO to interact with a live host in a 15-minute science show at the Honda ASIMO Theater inside the Innoventions attraction. Innoventions is located in Tomorrowland at the Disneyland park and offers hands-on experience of current technologies. [...] ASIMO is truly a feat of robotic design with the ability to run, walk, climb stairs and take direction from a person. And this is one busy robot. In addition to the TV advertising campaign, ASIMO has attended such as activities as the launch of a Honda Science Scholarship at the Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia and the 100th Anniversary celebrations of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races.
ASIMO Honda robot development comes to an end - The Robot Report
Perhaps the Honda ASIMO was developed too early to have any practical use, similar to what happened with the Jibo social robot. In 2013, Honda announced it was working on a disaster response robot based on ASIMO. And in October 2017 it gave us a sneak peek at the 5-foot-6-inch tall, 187-pound E2-DR humanoid that can climb stairs, negotiate obstacles, and even fit through tight spaces. With the major improvements to Atlas, and the welcomed addition of Cassie, we can only wonder what could have been had the Honda ASIMO been a priority for the last seven years. Perhaps it would be the Honda ASIMO doing flips and going for a job, not Atlas. For years, Asimo didn’t have any serious competition. That’s certainly not the case now. [...] The Nikkei Asian Review, for example, reports that Honda ASIMO technology helped lead to the development of a $2500 robot lawnmower. NHK, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation, reports the Honda ASIMO team has already been disbanded. Honda denies this, but NHK hints at increasing competition in the field, specifically Boston Dynamics’ incredible Atlas humanoid robot, as a reason for ceasing development. [...] The Robot Report # ASIMO robot development comes to an end By Steve Crowe | June 29, 2018 We said 2019 will be the year of legged robots. Well, it looks like the Honda ASIMO robot won’t be part of that plan. Development on the Honda ASIMO robot has stopped, according to multiple reports. Honda says it will continue researching humanoid robots, but they won’t have the ASIMO name. Honda’s main focus will shift to using some of ASIMO’s technology to develop robots for more practical applications, including nursing and road transport.
