Type 08 Mobiloid

08式 モビルロイド

A semi-humanoid built for collecting AI training data, from the Tokyo company better known for anime-character robots. An actuated lift sets its height from 100 to 160 cm, every wheel has independent suspension and steering, two fisheye cameras in the head feed a VR headset for teleoperation, and it also records contact sounds as training data; top speed is 5.8 km/h and runtime about 2 hours.

Side by side with its peers

Picked by the same rules for every humanoid: another maker’s robot that moves the same way, is at the same stage and does at least one of the same main jobs, first shown within two years. Closer size and price rank higher. Few robots match closely, so these are the nearest matches. How we choose
