RunBot is a biomechatronic design. It has achieved a relative walking speed of 3.5 leg-lengths per second, which is much faster than the current world record of biped walking robots, 1.5 leg-lengths per second, and is even comparable to the fastest relative speed of human walking.

TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese robot maker on Tuesday unveiled what it called the world's first prototype of an artificial hand with "air muscles" that can do even delicate work like picking up a raw egg.

HRP-2 is the final robotic platform for the Humanoid Robotics Project headed by the Manufacturing Science and Technology Center (MSTC) which is sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) through the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
