2. Humanoid Robotics
•WTF is Humanoid Robotics?
•Why is it so popular?
•What are Advantages/
Disadvantages?
•Where are we going with it?

3. What is it?
 Robots that look like or
mimic people
 Like an android?
Humanoid refersto any
being whosebody structure
resemblesthat of ahuman:
head, legs, arms, hands.
It resembles ahuman both
in appearance and
behavior.

4. Characteristics of Humanoids
 Self-maintenance
 Avoiding harmful situationsto people, property
and itself
 Safeinteracting with human beingsand the
environment
 Legged locomotion
 Arm control and dexterousmanipulation

5. 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

6. 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

7. WABOT-2 (1980~1984)
 Waseda University
 Plays keyboard
 Not as versatile, considered
“specialist”
 Able to read sheet music
and play it

8. 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

9. 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

10. Advantages
 Performs some tasks better
 Self interacting
 They look likehuman
 They arestronger and tough
 They do not complain
 They cannot beexhausted
 They perform operationscool

11. 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

12. ASIMO- Honda’s heavy hitter
 $1million a unit
 Can go up stairs
 Run 6km/h
 Carry 1kg
 51.8v Lithium-ion
 30 mins endurance

13. HRP-4C
 Sings and Dances
 Androidish/ Gynoid
 Demonstrates human
Movement/speech

14. 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

15. 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

16. Latest version
 Honda's new
Asimo robot can
run, jump and
sign
 It change its
actions
depending on
what happens
around it

17. 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.

18. 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.
