What is it?
Humanoid robotics focuses on the development of robots with human-like appearance and capabilities. These robots are designed to interact with humans and perform tasks in human environments, such as homes, offices, and public spaces. AI algorithms enable humanoid robots to learn, adapt, and make decisions based on their environment and interactions with humans. Machine learning techniques allow humanoid robots to improve their performance over time by learning from data and experiences. Advanced computer vision systems are enabling humanoid robots to perceive and interpret their surroundings, recognizing objects, faces, and gestures. Humanoid robots are equipped with a variety of sensors (e.g., cameras, microphones, touch sensors) and actuators (e.g., motors, hydraulics) that enable them to sense and interact with their environment. Specialized control systems and algorithms enable humanoid robots to walk and maintain balance on two legs, mimicking human gait and movement. Natural language processing (NLP) technologies allow humanoid robots to understand and respond to human speech, facilitating more natural human-robot interaction.
