I think asimo's been around for a while. Just demonstrates the market for overpriced humanoid robots wasn't especially big 10 years ago either.

Asimo never went beyond a tech demo. The few videos we have are either demonstrations, or in a lab setting (like James May's) where the robot is tethered. Its abilities were very basic, and it was never seen carrying a load other than a tray with paper cups.

Comparisons to Boston Dynamics' robots would be a bit more relevant, at least in terms of agility and dexterity.

Ah. I didn't realize Musk's robot was generally available.
