1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Humanoid robots represent a cutting-edge frontier in robotics technology, offering the promise of
revolutionizing various aspects of human life. However, the development and deployment of humanoid
robots are accompanied by a myriad of challenges that must be addressed to fully realize their potential and
ensure their safe and effective integration into society.

Firstly, one significant challenge is the complexity of designing and engineering humanoid robots that can
replicate human-like movements and interactions. Achieving natural and fluid locomotion, dexterous
manipulation of objects, and effective communication requires sophisticated mechanical designs, advanced
sensor technologies, and complex control algorithms.

Secondly, there are challenges related to the perception and cognition of humanoid robots. While significant
progress has been made in artificial intelligence and machine learning, enabling robots to perceive their
environment, understand spoken language, and interpret social cues, achieving human-level perception and
cognition remains elusive.

Thirdly, there are ethical and societal challenges associated with the widespread adoption of humanoid
robots. Concerns about job displacement due to automation, privacy and security risks related to data
collection by robots, and the potential for misuse or abuse of advanced robotics technology raise important
ethical considerations. Furthermore, there are technical challenges related to power efficiency, reliability,
and robustness in real-world environments. Humanoid robots must operate efficiently on limited power
sources, withstand harsh environmental conditions, and maintain operational reliability over extended
period use.
