My local Honda dealer is running a ad in the newspaper that says:

World's only bi-pedal humanoid robot.

Asimo is the world's only bi-pedal humanoid robot capable of climbing and descending stairs, walking forward and backward, turning smoothly without pausing, and maintaining balance while walking on uneven slopes and surfaces.

I am not sure if this is a true claim!

It's PR hype, probably written by the car dealer. There are certainly ROBO-ONE robots capable of the description. OmniZero and Dynamizer come immediately to mind. And even Asimo size or larger robots like HRP-2 can do it as well.

Asimo is great - no question - and can do some things better than other similar humanoid robot projects. It's 'running' is really sweet. I put 'running' in quotes because some people would argue that it doesn't do a true human-type run - but only because they've never watched how many of the Japanese here run.

Nevertheless, Asimo isn't the "world's only" by a long shot.

What they mean to say is it's the only biped that is that big and design and built by a company. I don't think university and hobbiest exist on there radar.
