World's first full-scale anthropomorphic robot (1973), developed at Waseda University. Could walk, grip objects, see, and communicate in Japanese.

WABOT-1 is at the research stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.

WABOT-1 is made by Waseda University Humanoid Lab, based in Tokyo, Japan.

WABOT-1 is at research stage and is not yet available for sale.

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable humanoid robots to WABOT-1 include Walker S2, Digit, Unitree G1, Atlas.

WABOT-1 and Walker S2 (UBTech Robotics · 18 deployments) are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. WABOT-1 has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, WABOT-1 ranks in roughly the top 84% of humanoid models tracked by the registry.

WABOT-1 is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.

No verified deployments of WABOT-1 are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

WABOT-1 has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
