A humanoid robot is a robot with its body shape built to resemble that of the human body. A humanoid design might be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots may also have heads designed to replicate human facial features such as eyes and mouths. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans.
Purpose
Humanoid robots are used as a research tool in several scientific areas.
Researchers need to understand the human body structure and behavior (biomechanics) to build and study humanoid robots. On the other side, the attempt to the simulation of the human body leads to a better understanding of it.
Human cognition is a field of study which is focused on how humans learn from sensory information in order to acquire perceptual and motor skills. This knowledge is used to develop computational models of human behavior and it has been improving over time.
It has been suggested that very advanced robotics will facilitate the enhancement of ordinary humans. See transhumanism.
Although the initial aim of humanoid research was to build better orthosis and prosthesis for human beings, knowledge has been transferred between both disciplines. A few examples are: powered leg prosthesis for neuromuscularly impaired, ankle-foot orthosis, biological realistic leg prosthesis and forearm prosthesis.
Besides the research, humanoid robots are being developed to perform human tasks like personal assistance, where they should be able to assist the sick and elderly, and dirty or dangerous jobs. Regular jobs like being a receptionist or a worker of an automotive manufacturing line are also suitable for humanoids. In essence, since they can use tools and operate equipment and vehicles designed for the human form, humanoids could theoretically perform any task a human being can, so long as they have the proper software. However, the complexity of doing so is deceptively great.
They are becoming increasingly popular for providing entertainment too. For example, Ursula, a female robot, sings, play music, dances, and speaks to her audiences at Universal Studios. Several Disney attractions employ the use of animatrons, robots that look, move, and speak much like human beings, in some of their theme park shows. These animatrons look so realistic that it can be hard to decipher from a distance whether or not they are actually human. Although they have a realistic look, they have no cognition or physical autonomy. Various humanoid robots and their possible applications in daily life are featured in an independent documentary film called Plug & Pray, which was released in 2010 it continue.....
This presentation attempts to talk about the current robotic scenario(market, the different applications etc), India's contribution and what the future for robotics looks like.
A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent. It can be referred to both physical robots and virtual software agents and yes nothing in this world can be more loyal than a ROBOT !!

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

creation of
water clocks in
Babylon and
Egypt

construction of
a steam-
powered
mechanical

4. PARTS OF A ROBOT:
• All robots have some parts:
-Controllers: Every robot need a program that
controls it in an autonomous way.
-Sensors: They allow it to recognise a sound, an
image
or a movement.
-Effectors: Are the devices that a robot has to make
ir act according to its environment.
-Actuators: Mechanism that allow the effector carry
out an action or a movement.
5. LEONARDO DA VINCI AND THE FIRST
HUMANOID
• Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) imagined
what we know as robots. He designed them
in several manuscripts, as the Codex
Atlanticus.
• He knew that a robot needs energy to move,
so he thought different ways by using
resources as the air, weights, pulleys, ropes,
belts, chains, moving water...
• He designed three different types of robots,
one of them in 1495, considered the first
humanoid: a mechanical knight.
6. NEW
HUMANS?• Empathy is essential for humans. Some robots
had been created with the idea of detecting
emotions and moods, that’s why there have
been so many advances in voice detection or
facial expressions. There are some robots
capable of emotionally manipulating human
beings through algorithms and social networks
created by humans.
• Some experts think that robots could achieve
a real cognitive ability, going further than
‘emotional intelligence’, raising the need to
establish rights for them.
7. THE UNCANNY VALLEY:
• The theory of the Uncanny Valley by Masahir Mori
says that if robots have a human shape but aren´t
very similar to us, they generate a positive response
in humans. But if the robot is too similar to humans,
they generate a negative response. This occurs
because we doubt whether they are robots or if they
are alive. This cause us fear due to we are afraid of
being replaced by robots, but also remind us death.
8. RELATION WITH SOCIETY•
• This occurs because in Europe, people is concerned about
job loses.
If you see, in manThe society’s culture influences its attitude
towards robots. Europeans are more technologically
conservative than East Asia.ga comics or anime, robots help
humans, while in Western films, robots generate a problem in
society.
9. RELATION WITH SCIENCE
FICTION:
• Literature:
-From Hesiod (Greek
philosopher) to Mary
Shelley (British writer)
literature has explored
existance. Science fiction
writers have asked
questions which are being
asked through robotic
characters to discuss
freedom, racism,
capitalism…
• Films:
-Robots have appeared in
films for talking about
social and political topics.
-In films there are two
types of robots. The ones
that are friendly and
helpful and the ones who
are war machines or
guardians of an oppresive
system.
10. ASIMOV’S FOUR LAWS OF
ROBOTICS
• In 1942, Isaac Asimov, a writer, showed the ‘Three laws of
Robotics’ (later, he added the fourth), which are functional
laws which all robots are supposed to follow.
1st law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow
human being to come to harm.
2nd law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where
such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3rd law: A robot must protect its own existence as long such protection does not
conflict with the First or Second Law.
4th law: Robot may not harm humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to
come to harm.
11.
JOBS• Many of the known jobs will be lost because of robotisation, but
new ones are going to be created.
• There are studies which say that more of the half of jobs will be
done by robots by 2055. The World Economic Forum (WEF)
explains that 65% of children will perform jobs which doesn’t
exist.
• There are, already, many robotised countries in Europe, like
Germany or other Nordic countries.
12. ROBOT
BOOM
• There’s going to be the biggest boom of technology, between
2018 and 2020. By 2019, around 1.4 million of industrial are
going to be used globally.
• The main countries were sales of robots are concentrated are
China, the Republic of Korea, Japan, the United States and
Germany.
• Specially, China, represents the 40% of robot installations in
the world.
13.
CONCLUSIO
N• When we went to this exposition about
robots, we learned lots of things about
them. We hope we have reflected these
ideas correctly, and that you have
learned with this presentation as much
as we did there.
