Honda presents the P2 as the world's first two-legged humanoid robot able to walk. According to the manufacturer's history page, it was announced in December 1996. It stood 1,820 mm tall and weighed 210 kg.

To make it work without cables, Honda fitted everything it needed inside the torso: computers, motor controls, batteries and transmission equipment.

According to the manufacturer, the P2 walked freely, climbed and descended stairs and pushed carts, all without cables and automatically.

The previous model on the page, the P1, stood 1,915 mm tall, weighed 175 kg and still relied on an external power supply and computer.
