A robot is a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent

that can perform tasks automatically or with

guidance, typically by remote control. In practice a

robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine that

is guided by computer and electronic programming.

Types of Robots

Humanoid refers to any being whose body structure

resembles that of a human: head, legs, arms, hands.

It resembles a human both in appearance and

behavior.

• They can work in human environment without a need to adapt themselves or to change the environment.

• It is easier for a human being to interact with a human-like being.

Self-maintenance

Avoiding harmful situations to people, property, and

itself

Safe interacting with human beings and the environment

Legged locomotion

Arm control and dexterous manipulation

Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO)

It can walk and climb the stairs

It is 120 cm high and 43 kg weight

It looks like humans

It can work like human beings

It has the ability to take decisions

It can use common sense in the new environment

Honda has unveiled a new

version of its humanoid robot

that understands human gestures

and movements.

Capable of to following the

moves of nearby people

It uses a camera to recognize ten

different preprogrammed faces

and respond with a vocal

welcome

A System Is Thought To Be Intelligent If It Can Understand

And Learn, Solve A Problem, Make Its Own Decisions And

Adapt To New Environments.

It can work as a person like cooking , cleaning, recognize

nearby people, understands human gestures and

movements etc.

ASIMO can change both its speed and its directions

smoothly without having to stop where as the conventional

robot had to stop once before changing its direction.

It can make decision in the new environment

It can understand the problem and works accordingly

Plenty of humans already who do not have jobs or

good places to live , then why replace with

Humanoids

Why not keep humanoids, like calculators, merely

as useful gadgetry?

Robots will become super intelligent and rule this

world.
