Honda

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is a Tokyo-headquartered company established in 1948. Its humanoid robotics work produced ASIMO, which performed public demonstrations for more than 20 years; across all units ASIMO took more than 33 million steps. Honda says that experience showed a fully autonomous bipedal robot would still require long-term research, and that it is researching other forms of mobility for its robots, such as a guide robot that moves on balls and wheels. Honda's shares are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and its ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange.
