The '''Humanoid Robotics Project''' has developed a series of humanoid and general domestic helper robots, sponsored by the [[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]].
