The document discusses humanoid robots, defining them as robots resembling humans in both appearance and behavior, and traces their history from early examples like 'elektro' to modern advancements like Honda's ASIMO. It explores the reasons for developing humanoids, such as their ability to operate in human environments and the potential for social interaction, along with the challenges in achieving stable bipedal locomotion. The document also addresses potential applications and social implications of humanoid robots, questioning their integration into society and the ethical considerations surrounding them.

- 6. WHAT IS A HUMANOID ANYWAY? Humanoid refers to any being whose body structure resembles that of a human: head, torso, legs, arms, hands. But it is also a robot made to resemble a human both in appearance and behaviour. The difference between a robot and android is only skin- deep, looks exactly like humans on the outside, but with internal mechanics of humanoid robot.
- 7. WHY TO DEVELOP HUMANOIDS? ● More rational reasons ●They can work in human environment without a need to adapt themselves or to change the environment ●Our environment and our tools are adapted for us ●Why adapt all to robots? ●It is easier for a human being to interact with a human-like being
- 8. Bipedism frees the hands to create tools and start cognition HUMAN EVOLUTION
- 9. HUMAN EVOLUTION VS. HUMANOID EVOLUTION
- 10. HUMANOID EVOLUTION (CONT’D) ● Nowadays, humanoid robot researchers are focusing on bipeds more than they do in cognition ● Stable and robust bipedal locomotion is still a good lab example ● It is mandatory to solve it in order to be able to implement cognition ● We are in the pre-robotic era compared with the human evolution
- 11. LEGGED LOCOMOTION ● Legged locomotion is much easier to accomplish (and much safer to develop and test) on smaller humanoids. ● The SDR-4X was recently developed by Sony as a domestic robot capable of handling uneven surfaces and stairs on the fly. ● Honda's P3 humanoid. ● Honda now has another smaller and lighter android known as P3.
- 12. HUMANOID ROBOT APPLICATIONS ● Entertainment ● Eduction ● Art ● Search andRescue ● Medical and Welfare ● House Works
- 13. ● Humanoid as a slave ● New electrical appliance? ● Will they be adapted to the master? ● Back to slavery? ● Humanoid as a companion ● Will they get socially accepted? ● Will they have social rights? ● Who will be responsible for them? ● Will they be able to acquire some conscience? ● Will they evolute? SOCIAL ASPECTS : WHAT TO YOU PREFER
- 14. Safely move the objects co-operatively Corrects position and speed of two robots Smooth co-ordination Carry objects safely on various surfaces CONCLUSION SCOPE FOR IMPROVEMENT Design user friendly humanoids for Layman Cost effectiveness
