The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan ran an R&D project on humanoid robotics, called HRP. In the project, a humanoid robotics platform was developed in the first phase, and contributors of the project followed up with research on the applications of humanoid robots to various industries. In this paper, we describe the five applications that we think are suitable for humanoid robots and expect to open a new industry.
