The first humanoid robot called "P2" was large and tall. His hands were claws (see enlarged photo below). Looks very threatening. Introduced in 1996.
a024-IMG_2297.jpg
The P3 robot got smaller, but still quite heavy. Introduced in 1997.

Then the ASIMO in 2000. The current ASIMO is only 130 cm tall and 54 kg. Much less intimidating than its predecessors. ASIMO stands for Advanced Step in Innovative MObility.

The woman in the dentist's chair is actually a robot. Life-like female robot for dental students. This robot has silicon skin. However, it cannot stand up by itself nor walk.

Dental students can practice on this robot which will say "ouch" if you do something wrong. If your elbow accidentally touches the robot's breast, it will also yelp. Also see my video
