Outline What is a Robot? What is Robotics? Robot Types What is a Humanoid? Why Develop Humanoids? History of Humanoid Robots Challenges in Humanoids Humanoid Robot Applications
Outline Contd ASIMO : An Intro The Latest Version of ASIMO The Intelligent System Why ASIMO is most intelligent Social Issues
What is Meant By a Robot: 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
What is Robotics? Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots and computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. construction,
Robot Types: Mobile Robot Industrial Robot Service Robot Humanoid Robot
What is a Humanoid? Humanoid refers to any being whose body structure resembles that of a human: head, torso, legs, arms, hands. But it is also a robot made to resemble a human both in appearance and behavior. The difference between a robot and android is only skin-deep, looks exactly like humans on the outside, but with internal mechanics of humanoid robot.
Why Develop Humanoids? 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
Historical Perspective: Alexander constructed statues, doors and small mechanical animals that could be animated by water, air and steam pressure By the eighteenth century, elaborate mechanical dolls were able to write short phrases, play musical instruments, and perform other simple, life-like acts.
Characteristics of Humanoids Self-maintenance Autonomous learning Avoiding harmful situations to people, property, and itself Safe interacting with human beings and the environment Legged locomotion Arm control and dexterous manipulation
Challenges in Humanoids Bipedal human-like locomotion Changing model during one/two feet support walking Two legs, two arms, head, torso Complex kinematics and dynamics Complex real-time control architecture
ASIMO robot of Honda Company 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
Latest Version of ASIMO on March 23, 2003 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
What are Intelligent Systems ? 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
Why ASIMO is most intelligent? 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 P3 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 It is used for entertainment as well as other necessary useful works
Social Issues Related to Humanoids 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
