This document discusses research into developing a more humanoid robot. It summarizes several articles about robots that can see and navigate in 3D, walk dynamically like humans by falling forward at each step, and take inspiration from studying human and animal movement. The document proposes that future humanoid robots could serve people and presents naming and branding diagrams for a robot called DynamoBot, selected for its focus on dynamic walking.
