Humanoid Robots

Entertainment

Assist the sick and elderly, receptionist and waiter

Purpose (Growing Availability)

Positives

SmartPal Versus was designed plus programmed as a full time support robot.The design of the particular robot is pretty unique along with 21 bones which include some sort of bendable waistline allowing it to decide on things from your floor.

Orthotic and prosthesis for human beings

Asimo may be the most advanced humanoid robot in the world. It can walk, run, turn corners, recognize hand gestures, carry objects, dance and climb up and down stairs.

Aiko can talk two ‘languages’, solve maths equations and contains a 13000 sentence terminology. Aiko is capable to finish almost all house work and she does not protest

The initial aim of humanoid research was to build better orthosis and prosthesis for human beings. Knowledge has been transferred between both disciplines. Researchers need to understand the human body structure and behavior (biomechanics) to build and study humanoid robots.

As few examples are:

• Powered leg prosthesis for neuromuscular impaired
• Ankle-foot orthosis
• Biologically realistic leg prosthesis and forearm prosthesis.

• Education: Humanoid robots are used as test subjects for medical students.
• Administration: Robots are currently used to manage the way in which medications are being distributed, either in hospitals, nursing homes or pharmacies.
• Surgery: The robots used in surgery have become more precise.
• Military: human interference these ”battle robots” can perform missions remotely in the field without having to place in danger human lives.
• Entertainment: Toy robots, humanoid robots that dance, sing and occasionally model fashion shows, they all have one purpose: to attract an audience and entertain people.
• Agriculture: Nowadays robots have found their way even in the field of agriculture. Capable of harvesting fruit these robots possess vision that can identify the colour of fruit as well as their position relative to the harvesting machine.

• Results from Humanoid Robots will be that many people are going to lose their jobs.
• Humanoid robots would be that this implementation of robots into people's lives will cause a shift in their social ability and willingness, in other words, people are going to become more introverted. (Economist, 2011) This is not healthy for humans to not have face to face human interaction because then if they are forced to do so later on they will feel very uncomfortable and not know how to act or respond.

Dirty or dangerous jobs

Regular jobs

Thesis statement and Objectives

Humanoid robots are also being developed with more autonomous capabilities in order to enable them to be adaptable to changes within their environment and carry out more complex or monotonous tasks such as search and rescue and assisted living.

This presentation is going to make some statement of "Humanoid Robots".

• To find the history of humanoid robots
• To summarise the definition
• To consider characteristics features
• To analysis purposes and growing availability of humanoid robots
• To evaluate the positive and negative changes in personal level and career

Researchers in Spain have successfully tested the autonomy of the robot for developing underwater intervention tasks.The robot has managed to recover an object similar to an aircraft black box without the direction of any operator.

History of Humanoid Robots

Artificial intelligence

People always believe the robot is a unique word for modern society. However, the first humanoid robot which has been recorded in BC 50, it can pour wine automatically.

What are the humanoid robots

To sum up, we have seen how robots slowly modified society. In essence, although the humanoid robots reduced low-skill jobs, on a long term, they helped create new and better working places and boosted the economic growth. In addition, the use of robots spread to an even wider range of fields. This expansion led to a high amount of benefits which include: better outcome of surgical operations, more knowledge obtained in diverse fields, human replacement in dangerous situations, time spared and human wellbeing.

Examples of modern robots

The word “Robot” was invented in 1921. It is a rapidly developmental society, many advanced and high technical robots have been made.

Humanoid robotics is an emerging and challenging research field, which has received significant attention during the past years and will continue to play a central role in robotics research and in many applications of the 21st century.
