IN this ppt I had covered some topics that are sufficient for a paper presentation....I had created this with the HD pic's that will attract the listeners well...... Wishing u all success and all he best
Humanoid Robotics
•WTF is Humanoid Robotics?
•Why is it so popular?
•What are Advantages/
Disadvantages?
•Where are we going with it?
What is it?
Robots that look like or
mimic people
Like an android?
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.
Characteristics of Humanoids
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
History of the Humanoid
Robot
Karel Capek coins the term
“Robot” – 1921
1930’s to 70’s: theory of
humanoid shapes, electronics,
and movement.
Not until 1970’s until a practical
autonomous Robot of this type
Boom in development from
1980 to present
WABOT-1 (1970~1973)
Waseda University
The first fun-scale humanoid
robot developed in the
world
Able to communicate in
Japanese and measure
distances and directions to
objects using external
receptors, artificial ears and
eyes, and an artificial
mouth
WABOT-2 (1980~1984)
Waseda University
Plays keyboard
Not as versatile, considered
“specialist”
Able to read sheet music
and play it
Further Development
1985 - Hitachi’s WHL-11
(walking 13 s/step)
1986-1991 - Honda’s E series
1989 - Pacific Northwest
Laboratories' Manny (42
degrees of freedom)
Present day: Honda, Hitachi,
Military intuitions, NASA
compete with designs
Why the popularity?
Looks and feels more
“Human”
Easier for integration in
applied role
Can perform some tasks
better
Good in science fiction
(especially Eastern
Anime)
Looks cool
Advantages
Performs some tasks better
Self interacting
They look like human
They are stronger and tough
They do not complain
They cannot be exhausted
They perform operations cool
Disadvantages
It hard to implement
It little-bit complex with every
function
Terrible at performing tasks
suitable for wheels (landscape
or high speeds)
Technology (gyros, advanced
servo designs)
Not trustworthy
ASIMO - Honda’s heavy hitter
$1million a unit
Can go up stairs
Run 6km/h
Carry 1kg
51.8v Lithium-ion
30 mins endurance
HRP-4C
Sings and Dances
Androidish/ Gynoid
Demonstrates human
Movement/speech
NASA and General Motors Robonaut 2
Intended for space
Designed to work
side by side with people
Can carry 15kg
Wheel chair design
/mounted platforms
Where’s the limit?
Large advancements in both interest and
technology
Competitions between large corporations
Can do many tasks that were once near
impossible to implement (play soccer?)
Still a ways off from popular sci-fi films like
Terminator or I Robot
Latest version
Honda's new
Asimo robot can
run, jump and
sign
It change its
actions
depending on
what happens
around it
The future
ASIMO may serve as another set of
eyes, ears, hands and legs for all
kinds of people in need.
Someday ASIMO might help with
important tasks like assisting the
elderly or a person confined to a
bed or a wheelchair.
ASIMO might also perform certain
tasks that are dangerous to humans,
such as fighting fires or cleaning up
toxic spills.
conclusion
Robotics and automation will offer great
benefits to humanity In the future.
Robotics and automation enables great
advantage for people to do works in a
short period.
Defending the country, creating new
machines, operating with robots.
Therefore, the technology is developing
rapidly and people should benefit from
technology’s opportunities.
