This presentation discusses humanoid robots including their history and uses. It provides details about Honda's humanoid robot ASIMO, including its specifications and recognition technologies. ASIMO can recognize moving objects, postures, gestures, sounds, faces and its environment. It has walking and running capabilities. The presentation argues that humanoid robots are useful for dangerous tasks, cooperative work with humans, and natural interaction given their human-like form. In conclusion, robots are increasingly performing risky jobs and the next 50 years may see greater robotic automation.

Conclusion

3. What is robot…?
 A reprogrammable multifunctional
manipulator designed to movie material
parts tools or specialized devices through
various programmed motions for the
performance of a variety task - Robot
institute of America
 An intelligent robot is a mechanical
creature which can function automatically

4. History
Early stages
 The notion of putting machines to work
can be credited to great thinkers like
Aristotle
Westinghouse electrical crop creates two
of the first robots that use the electrical
motor for entire body motion

5. 1968… shakey build at stanford research
institute
Shakey could perform task that required
planning route-finding and the
rearranging of simple objects.

6. Our times
 In 1997 the P1 robot was produced by
Honda which was more like human like
 Capabilities
Walk around
Climb stairs
Pick things
Carry things
Push
Position it self

7.  In 2000 Honda incorporated the P3
technology into its dancing robot ASIMO-
(Advanced human robot)

8. Why humanoids…?
 Are there any good reasons for doing
research on humanoid robots ?
 work in dangerous environment
 Exhaustive and respective task
Division of labour with humans in
cooperative task
Anthropomorphism
 Embodiment
Interaction and communication

9. Anthropomorphism
 Human have built complex environments
tools and equipments very much adapted
to our selves.
 Robots with human-like morphology and
motion capabilities have a greater
potential acting in living environment
created for humans Use.

10. Embodiment
 The form of our bodies is critical to the
representation that we develop and use
for both internal through and our
language
 If we are to build a robot with human like
intelligence then it must have a human
like body in order to be able to develop
similar sorts of representation

11.  The important aspects of being human
are interaction and communication with
other humans.
 Humanoids can communicate in a
manner that natural communication
modalities of humans Ex- facial
expiration body posture gesture direction
and voice
 If robots has humanoid form then it will
be both easy and natural for humans
with it in human like way

12. Who is ASMO..?
 ASMO is humanoid robot created in 2000
by Honda.
 ASMO stands for Advanced step
innovative mobility
 11Th in the line successive bipedal
humanoid model by Honda.
 It is the 4th man like humanoid robot

13. Specifications
Weight :- 52 kilograms
Running speed :- 6Km/h
Walking speed while carry objects:-1.6
km/h
Height:- 130 cm
Width:-45cm
Height:- 130 cm
Depth:- 44 cm
Continuous operating time :- 40 min – 1 hr
Degrees of freedom :- 34

16. Why legs for humanoids…?
 Potentially less weight
 Better handling of rough terrains
 Only about a half of the worlds land mass
is accessible by current man built vehicles
 More energy
 Active suspension
 In order to get support and balance the
whole robot

17. Why bipeds…?
 A bipeds robot can be shorter along the
walking direction and can turn around in
small areas
 Light weight
 More efficient
 Everything must be built to be more
comfortable for use of human
 Social interaction with robots and our
perception

18. Walking V/s Running
 Motion of a legged system is called
walking in all instances at least one leg is
supporting the body
 If there are instances where no legs are
on the ground running
 Walking can be statically or dynamically
stable
 Running is always dynamically stable

19. Honda dynamic stability controller
 Keep foot on flat on the ground
 Estimate the danger of foot roll by
measuring ground reaction force
 Carefully designed
 Advance robot
 Multi work force

20. Recognition of technology
 With 2000 ASIMO model Honda added
many features labeled intelligence
technology that enables ASIMO to
interact with humans following features
are added
Recognition of moving object
Posture/gesture recognition
Environment recognition
Sound recognition
Face Recognition

21. Recognition of moving objects
 ASIMO can detect movement of multiple
objects assessing distance and direction
using the visual by capturing camera
 Features served by this application
Follow the movement of people
Fallow a person
Proper replay for human

22. Recognition of postures and
gestures
 Positioning and movement of a hand
recognition postures and gestures
 Can react and directed to both voice
commands and natural movements of
human being
Recognize hand sake
A person waving at it
Movement direction

23. Environment Recognition
 ASIMO can recognition the objects and
train the robot to safe guard themselves
and human being
Recognizing the hazards of surroundings
Avoid hitting objects when danger comes
to human

24. Distinguishing sounds
 ASIMO can distinguishing between voice
and other sounds
 He can respond to his name,face of
people,recognize sounds direction objects
image.

25. Facial recognition
 ASIMO has the ability to recognize face
even when Human being moving
 It can individually recognize
approximately 10 different faces once
they registered it can respond there name
 EX- ASIMO is working as Bartender in
America

27. Conclusion
 Robots are taking over tasks which are
perform by human being in Oder to
reduce risk by accepting challenge and
danger
 Next 50 years may come as robot era
