  4. What is Meant By a Robot: • A robot is a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent that can perform tasks automatically or with guidance, typically by remote control. In practice a robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by computer and electronic programming

  5. What is Robotics? Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots and computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.

  6. Robot Types: • Mobile Robot • Industrial Robot • Service Robot • Humanoid Robot

  7. What is a Humanoid? • 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 behavior. • 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.

  8. Why Develop Humanoids? • They can work in human environment without a need to adapt themselves or to change the environment • It is easier for a human being to interact with a human-like being

  9. Historical Perspective: • Alexander constructed statues, doors and small mechanical animals that could be animated by water, air and steam pressure • By the eighteenth century, elaborate mechanical dolls were able to write short phrases, play musical instruments, and perform other simple, life-like acts.

  10. Characteristics of Humanoids • Self-maintenance • Autonomous learning • Avoiding harmful situations to people, property, and itself • Safe interacting with human beings and the environment • Legged locomotion • Arm control and dexterous manipulation

  11. Challenges in Humanoids • Bipedal human-like locomotion • Changing model during one/two feet support walking • Two legs, two arms, head, torso • Complex kinematics and dynamics • Complex real-time control architecture

  12. Humanoid Robot Applications

  13. ‘ASIMO’ robot of Honda Company • It can walk and climb the stairs • It is 120 cm high and 43 kg weight • It looks like humans • It can work like human beings • It has the ability to take decisions • It can use common sense in the new environment

  14. Latest Version of ‘ASIMO’ on March 23, 2003 • Honda has unveiled a new version of its humanoid robot that understands human gestures and movements. • Capable of to following the moves of nearby people • It uses a camera to recognize ten different preprogrammed faces and respond with a vocal welcome

  15. What are Intelligent Systems ? A System Is Thought To Be Intelligent If It Can Understand And Learn, Solve A Problem, Make Its Own Decisions And Adapt To New Environments

  16. Why ‘ASIMO’ is most intelligent? • It can work as a person like cooking , cleaning, recognize nearby people, understands human gestures and movements etc. • ASIMO can change both its speed and its directions smoothly without having to stop where as the conventional ‘P3’ robot had to stop once before changing its direction. • It can make decision in the new environment • It can understand the problem and works accordingly • It is used for entertainment as well as other necessary useful works

  17. Social Issues Related to Humanoids • Plenty of humans already who do not have jobs or good places to live , then why replace with Humanoids • Why not keep humanoids, like calculators, merely as useful gadgetry? • Robots will become super intelligent and rule this world
