		<description>Yasuo Kuniyoshi's homepage is here: http://www.isi.imi.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/
It contains somewhat limited info, but maybe you can bury up some keywords.

@olga
This isn't HRP-2, this model is called the ETL-Humanoid System. Google returns some images if you look it up.

Inkblot Earth has some more info on HRP2:

		<description>[...] We&#8217;ve already seen androids that can knock you out, but now a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo have pieced together a humanoid robot with more peaceful intentions &#8212; or at least that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re hoping. Weighing in at 154 pounds and measuring just over five feet tall, the apparently unnamed droid can easily lift a 145 person out of bed or cart around heavy packages, which its creators say make it ideally suited for jobs in nursing care or the moving industry. While it&#8217;s not clear how the bot feels about that pre-determined career path, we wouldn&#8217;t recommend arguing with it if it one day scuffs up your furniture, or it could well put those people-lifting skills to a slightly more destructive use.

		<description>[...] Using a load-balancing sensor network instead of brute strength, a new Japanese robot can lift humans (well, human dolls anyway) carefully and safely.  Such a robot may reduce injuries to people with disabilities and their caregivers.  Of course, what about funding?  It&#8217;d be highly ironic if the government decided to pay for a robot while rejecting funding human assistants, which is too often the case.
