The bipedal HUBO FX-1 robot from HUBOLab is taller than me at 2 meters in height, tipping the scales at a rather hefty 150kg. The HUBO FX-1 is strong enough to carry up to 100kg in weight, which means it still isn’t able to lift up most WWE superstars in the ring. Don’t expect this to be the most agile robot either, despite the fact that it can walk forwards, backwards, side and turn using a built-in joystick. Looks pretty comfortable to sit in, but this has one major drawback compared to the Honda ASIMO – it can’t climb stairs.
