The only progress I made from my last post is on the software front. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get ahold of a dump of either software CD that came with HOAP-2. The good news is that the data on the compact flash card contained in the wireless add-on computer was not corrupted. Using Ubuntu 20.04, I was able to duplicate the disc image for safe keeping.

HOAP-2 is the second in a series of three humanoid robots made by Fujitsu Automation. HOAP stands for Humanoid for Open Architecture Platform. HOAP-2 was released in 2003 and is 48 cm high and weights about 7 kg.
