Our Verdict: The most physically capable humanoid for construction tasks. Drywall installation is genuinely impressive.

The AIST HRP-5P is a construction-focused humanoid robot developed by Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. It can pick up, carry, and install drywall panels, a task that demonstrates impressive strength, balance, and manipulation coordination.

Designed to address Japan’s construction labor shortage, HRP-5P combines powerful actuators with sophisticated planning algorithms that allow it to handle large, unwieldy objects while maintaining bipedal balance. Its construction site applications include material handling, wall installation, and basic tool operation.
