Performance benchmark

Computed 0-10 capability scores appear only when the required source-backed inputs are verified.

Scoring methodology

Insufficient comparable evidence

Computed capability scores use a normalized 0-10 scale from official, verified catalog inputs. Missing required inputs are shown as Not enough verified data instead of a numeric score.

Inputs: speed, payload, degrees of freedom, autonomy/software evidence, and dexterity-related evidence.

Freshness: each numeric score requires a source URL and verified date from the catalog record.

Guardrail: Scores are comparison aids only and do not indicate deployment readiness, suitability, price certainty, or availability.

Not enough verified data to render a five-axis numeric benchmark for Asimo.

SpeedNot comparable

Frequently asked questions about Asimo

HumanoidHub only shows a public Asimo price when it is verified from trusted source material. If no official price is shown, treat Asimo as request-quote and do not assume a public price until source-backed evidence is available.

What is the Asimo used for?

Honda ASIMO is a 1.3 m tall, ~48 kg bipedal humanoid robot created as a robotics R&D and demonstration platform. It is known for stable dynamic locomotion (walking/running), stair climbing, and basic interaction tasks such as guiding or carrying small items. ASIMO was not sold as a commercial product and has been retired from active development.
