Gundams are attacking! The new HRP-2 Humanoid robot from Kawada.
 
HRP-2 is the latest humanoid construction-site worker from Kawada Industries Inc. Not only this robot is capable of imitating the movements of humans, it is also very flexible and able to interact with us with the help of voice commands.

Did you mean ASIMO? As far as i know, it is not waterproof and it can not carry as much weight as HRP-2 (which has a far more cooler design as well imho).
Nevertheless, i am fully aware of the ASIMOS pros as well, like stereo-vision, ability to run, wireless internet connection and so on... but still, Promet's way cooler than ASIMO imho :D
