{{short description|Japanese technology development project}}
The '''Humanoid Robotics Project''' ('''HRP''') is a project for development of general domestic helper robots, sponsored by [[Japan]]'s [[Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry]] (METI) and [[New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization]] (NEDO), spearheaded by [[Kawada Industries]] and supported by the [[National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology]] (AIST) and [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries]], Inc. The HRP series also goes by the name Promet. The HRP should not be confused with the [[HOAP]] series (Humanoid for [[Open Architecture]] Platform), which is manufactured by [[Fujitsu]].
 
== Features and technology ==
The project started with three [[Honda P series|Honda P3]] which were bought from [[Honda]].<ref name="robocon 2003/4">{{cite news|title=HRPが最終成果を公開! |url=http://www.ohmsha.co.jp/robocon/archive/maga/no027/pdf/2703.pdf |language=ja |author=Junya Asano |work=[http://www.ohmsha.co.jp/robocon/ Robocon Magazine] |publisher=Ohmsha, Ltd |date=April 2003 |access-date=2010-06-12}}</ref> And, the project developed them as the HRP-1 with original features, such as [[telecommand]] system.<ref name="robocon 2003/4" /><ref>{{cite news|script-title=ja:産総研、働く人間型ロボット開発の中間成果を発表 |url=http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2002/0411/hrp1.htm |language=ja |work=PC Watch |publisher=Impress Watch Corporation |date=2002-04-10 |access-date=2010-06-12}}</ref>
 
An interesting feature HRP-2 has is the ability to stand up again after lying flat on the floor, either on its back or front—something Honda's [[ASIMO]] is not able to do.
