Introduction

• Something that have certain human characteristics is known as Humanoid.

• Humanoid implemented in Robotics are called as “Humanoid Robots”.

• Some are categorized as male and female humanoids.

• Come in three variations small sized, medium sized and large sized Humanoid.

12/28/21 07:42 AM 3
Composition

• Humanoid Robots have a torso, a head, two arms and two legs.

• The human body resemblance may be for the functional purposes such as interacting
with human tools and environment.

• For experimental purposes such as study of bipedal locomotion or for other purposes.

• Some forms of Humanoid Robots may model only part of the body
for example, from the waist up.

12/28/21 07:42 AM 4
•Some humanoid robots also have
heads designed to replicate human
facial features such as eyes and
mouth.

•Androids are humanoid robots


built to aesthetically resemble
humans.

Sensors

•To make the Robot behave like a human being, sensors play a big role.

•Sensors increased the performance of robots to a large extent.

•These sensors allow robots to perform various intellectual functions like human

being does making it unique.

•Sensors can be classified into types according to their functionality.


12/28/21 07:42 AM 6
Types of sensors

• Proprioceptive sensors: for sensing position, speed, and orientation


• Proximity sensor: to detect the presence of nearby objects
• Range sensor: to measure distances
• Tilt sensors: to measure inclination
• Accelerometers: to measure the acceleration

12/28/21 07:42 AM 7
Actuators

• Actuators are the motors responsible for motion in the robot.


• Humanoid robots are constructed in such a way that they mimic the human
body, so they use actuators .
• To achieve the same effect as human motion, humanoid robots use mainly
rotary actuators

12/28/21 07:42 AM 8
• Humanoid robots are capable of multiple
activities that are mere reflexes of a
human being.
• Humanoid robots do not require high
intellectual efforts.
• These robots have the capability of self-
maintenance and have advanced feature
of autonomous learning.
• Thus, they avoid harmful situations.

Some of the advanced
Humanoid Robots
1) Sophia:
• Very popular super advanced
humanoid robot
• Introduced in 2016
• Capable of showing over 60
different human expressions
• Sophia became the first robot to
get any citizenship of any country

Humanoid Robots

2) DARwln-OP(Robotics OP)
• Created at (RoMeLa) in collaboration
with Korean manufacturer
• This Humanoid can be used for
household purposes, built with the
main aim of education and research

Some of the advanced
Humanoid Robots

3) Pepper
• Designed by Aldebaran in
collaboration with Japanese
• The robot is equipped with a
highly cloud-backed voice
recognition engine
• Capable to absorb from its
interaction with the help of 25
sensors and cameras

Some of the advanced
Humanoid Robots

4) Romeo
• Cute-faced character from plastic
and metal
• Height 143 cm
• A robot that helps people with
requiring physical aid or for
providing health solutions
• Conversation between people
and Romeo is done in natural
12/28/21 07:42 AM 13
Purpose

• Humanoid Robots are used for research purposes in several scientific areas

• The initial aim of humanoid research was to built better orthosis and prothesis or
human beings
e.g., Powered leg prosthesis for neuromuscularly impaired, ankle-foot orthosis ,
biological realistic leg prothesis and forearm prosthesis.
• Humanoid robots are also built to perform human tasks and to assist the sick and to
do dangerous jobs
• Humanoid robots could be useful for future dangerous or distant space exploration
missions.
12/28/21 07:42 AM 14
Future scope

• A few years ago, there was only experimental research in humanoid robotics
mainly in the field of automobile industry
• Now humanoid robots are used in many fields varying from medical to
transport, industrial to recreation
• They are the most demanded robots as they make human tasks simpler and
work can be done in limited time thus saving human effort.
