What is Robot??
“A reprogrammable, multifunctional
manipulator designed to move
material, parts, tools, or specialized
devices through various programmed
motions for the performance of a
variety of tasks.”
 An intelligent robot is a mechanical
creature which can function
autonomously.
HISTORY
 Early stages the notion of putting machines to
work can be credited to great thinkers like
Aristotle.
 Westinghouse Electric Corp. creates two of the
first robots that use the electric motor for entire
body motion.
 1968….’ Shakey ’ build at Stanford Research
Institute.
 Shakey could perform tasks that required
planning, route- finding, and the rearranging of
simple objects.
Our Times
 In 1997 the P1 robot was produced by Honda
which was more human like.
 Capabilities:-
 Walk around
 Climb stairs
 Carry things
 Pick things up
 Push things
 Position it self accurately
Our Times(cont.)
 In 2000 Honda incorporated the P3 technology
into its dancing robot ASIMO.
Why Humanoids??
 Are there any good reasons for doing research
on humanoid robots?
 Work in dangerous environments
 Exhaustive and repetitive tasks
 Division of labor with humans in cooperative tasks
 Anthropomorphism
 Embodiment
 Interaction and Communication
Composition of Humanoid Robot
 Main component
Actuators-motion motors
Sensors-measure some attribute(sensing)
-proprioceptive
-exteroceptive
 Others
Manipulators
Power source
Types of Humanoid Robots
 QRIO
--pronounced”curio”-”quest for curiosity”
 HRP
 ASIMO-Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility
 AIBO-Artificial Intelligence Robot
 PARO
 PaPeRo
Working of Humanoid Robot
As the name says it is robot resembling
human body. Humanoid robots have a head,
body arms and legs,similar to human body. It
has sensors to sense its surroundings or
required measurements or readings. It has
actuators to get the work done through
motion. There are several motors which are
responsible for the robot’s motion. They are
programmed to be intelligent enough rather
than performing the repetitive tasks.
Advantages & Disadvantages
 ADVANTAGES
 Safe load carrying
 Good efficiency
 High accuracy
 Less time consuming
 DISADVANTAGES
 High cost
 Requires specialized people for maintenance

CONCLUSION
 Safety move the objects co-operatively
 Corrects position and speed of two robots
 Smooth co-ordination
 Carry objects safely on various surfaces

FUTURE SCOPE
 Design user friendly humanoids for Layman
 Cost effectiveness
