Yasuo Kuniyoshi’s homepage is here: http://www.isi.imi.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/
It contains somewhat limited info, but maybe you can bury up some keywords.

@olga
This isn’t HRP-2, this model is called the ETL-Humanoid System. Google returns some images if you look it up.

Inkblot Earth has some more info on HRP2:

[...] We’ve already seen androids that can knock you out, but now a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo have pieced together a humanoid robot with more peaceful intentions — or at least that’s what they’re hoping. Weighing in at 154 pounds and measuring just over five feet tall, the apparently unnamed droid can easily lift a 145 person out of bed or cart around heavy packages, which its creators say make it ideally suited for jobs in nursing care or the moving industry. While it’s not clear how the bot feels about that pre-determined career path, we wouldn’t recommend arguing with it if it one day scuffs up your furniture, or it could well put those people-lifting skills to a slightly more destructive use.
