2. ROBOTS
• Humanoid robots are now used as research tools in several scientific areas.
• Researchers study the human body structure and behavior (biomechanics) to build
humanoid robots.
• A robot is a machine especially one programmable by a computer capable of carrying out
a complex series of actions automatically.
• A robot can be guided by an external control device, or the control may be embedded
within.
• Robots may be constructed to evoke human form , but most robots are task-performing
machines, designed with an emphasis on stark functionality, rather than expressive
aesthetics.
3. MEDICAL AND RESEARCH
• Humanoid robots are a valuable resource in the world of medicine and
biotechnology, as well as other fields of research such as biomechanics and cognitive
science.
• Humanoid robots are being used to develop complex prosthetics for individuals with
physical disabilities such as missing limbs.
4. ENTERTAINMENT
• Humanoid robots have had a long history in the realm of entertainment, from the
conception and ideas in the story of Prometheus to the application and physical
build of modern animatronics used for theme parks.
• Current uses and development of humanoid robots in theme parks are focused on
creating stuntronics .
• Several Disney theme park shows utilize animatronic robots that look, move and
speak much like human beings.
• Although these robots look realistic
5. AMECA
THE FUTURE FACE OF ROBOTICS
Ameca is the world’s most advanced human shaped robot representing the
forefront of human-robotics technology.
• Designed specifically as a platform for development into future robotics technologies,
Ameca is the perfect humanoid robot platform for human-robot interaction.
• We focus on bringing you innovative technologies, which are reliable, modular,
upgradable and easy to develop upon.
7. SOPHIA
• Sophia is a social humanoid robot developed by the Hong Kong-based
company Hanson Robotics .
• Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, and made her first public appearance
in mid-March 2016 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, United States.
• A computer vision algorithm processes input from cameras within Sophia's eyes,
giving Sophia visual information on its surroundings.
• It can follow faces, sustain eye contact, and recognize individuals.
• It can process speech and have conversations using a natural language subsystem.
8. GRACE, NURSE ROBOTS
• Robots like Grace are intended as a support for medical professionals rather than a
replacement, says Hanson Robotics founder and CEO David Hanson.
• “Using AI and robotics in this context can help gather important data for healthcare
providers to assess the wellbeing of the patient,” he adds.
• Developed specifically for the medical sector, Grace’s launch comes in the middle of
the coronavirus pandemic when there has been increased demand for telehealth
solutions and contactless care.
9. GRACE, NURSE ROBOTS
• Advanced AI to assist medical professionals and collect biodata in a secure manner
to deliver groundbreaking diagnostic advances.
• Healthcare systems are overloaded and burdened with high labor costs and
shortages of healthcare workers.
• These systems are further challenged by new disease transmission, such as the
COVID-19 pandemic, due to the close proximity of patients and medical staff.
