Humanoid robots are designed to resemble the human form with a torso, head, two arms and two legs. They were first created in the 1970s by Waseda University and have continued to evolve, with notable examples including Honda's ASIMO and NASA's ROBONAUT. While humanoid robots can perform some tasks like humans such as locomotion, they still lack human-level cognition and emotions. Researchers are working to develop more stable bipedal movement and advanced cognition in humanoid robots, but they remain limited compared to human abilities. The document concludes that as technology improves, humanoid robots will find new applications but still have inherent defects compared to humans.

4. 4 Humanoid robot:
It is body shape build to
resemble the human body .In
general these have a
torso,two legs,two
arms,head.Thus, it appears
and behaves like human.
BUT

6. HISTORY 6
Karel capek coined
the term “robot”
1921

7. After 1970 humanoid robots came into
evolution
Waseda university first time created a
Humanoid Robot in 1970(WABOT-1),and in
1980 WABOT-2
Then, ASIMO-Honda’s heavy hitter
ROBONAUT by NASA

8.  WABOT-1: It can communicate in
Japanese,can give directions,find
objects,artificial ears ,mouth,eyes
 WABOT-2: Play’s keyboard,can read
sheet music and play it
 ASIMO: can go upstairs, run’s
6kh/hr, play soccer, carry 1kg wt
 ROBONAUT: wheel chaired, can
carry 15kg wt, can work as
colleague

9. Why Development????
 1985-Hitachi’s WHL-11
 1986-1991-Honda’s E series
 1989-Pacific Northwest laboratories Manny
 Present Day-Honda,Hitachi,Military Institutions,
NASA are competing in Robot development

Because it is a dream of generations

11. Humanoid Evolution
 Nowadays, humanoid robot researchers are
focusing on bipedism more than they do in
cognition
 Stable and robust bipedal locomotion is still a
good lab example
 It is mandatory for researchers to have cognition
for robots
 We are in the pre-robotic era compared with the
human evolution
 In present days ASIMO and PETMAN are more
competent robots

12. Advantages
 Robots look like human
 …..are stronger,tough
 …...do not complain
 ……cannot be exhausted
 …….Cool
12

13. Disadvantages
 Robots are not well developed
 ……..have no emotions
 ……Incredibly hard to implement
 …..cannot be trusted
 ……terrible at performable tasks
13

14. APPLICATIONS 14

16. conclusion…..
 Finally, as the
technology
improves, there will
be new ways to use
robots which will
bring new hopes
and new potential.

Thus I conclude……
“HUMUNOID ROBOTS ARE LIKE HUMANS
WITH SOME DEFECTS”
