EO To Asimo: Walking Robots Evolve 1986-2010 Videos
This year, the ASIMO autonomous bipedal walking robot celebrated its 10th anniversary. However, it took a lot longer than that for the creation of walking robots. Consider the 1986 robot EO, which took five seconds for each step forward.

Not one to remain standing still, the evolution continued from 1991 through 1993 with E4, E5 and E6:

Moving into the realm of the autonomous walking robot, we see P1, P2 and P3 sidestep engineering difficulties from 1993 to 1997:

Finally, the first models of ASIMO appear in 2000:
