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
