Humanoid Robots
[attachment=67932]
What is a 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."
Robot Institute of America, 1979
“Where AI (Artificial Intelligence) meets the real world
Our Times
In 1997 the P3 robot was produced by Honda which was more human like.
Capabalities:-
Walk around
Climb stairs
Carry things
Pick things up
Push things
Position it self accurately
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 labour with humans in cooperative tasks
Anthropomorphism
Embodiment
Interaction and Communication
Anthropomorphism
Humans have built complex environments, tools and equipments very much adapted to our selves.
Robots with human-like morphology and motion capabilities have a greater potential acting in living environments created for humans, than e.g. wheeled robots
Who is ASIMO?
ASIMO is a humanoid robot created in 2000 by Honda.
ASIMO stands for
Advanced Step in Innovative MObility
11th in line of successive bipedal humanoid model’s by Honda.
It is the 4th man like humanoid robot.
Specifications
Weight: 52 kilograms
Running Speed: 6 km/h
Walking speed: 2.7 km/h
Walking speed while carrying objects: 1.6 km/h
Height: 130 cm
Width: 45 cm
Depth: 44 cm
Continuous operating time: 40 min – 1 hr
Degrees of Freedom: 34
Recognition Technology
With 2000's ASIMO model Honda added many features, labelled "Intelligence Technology", that enable ASIMO to interact better with humans. These features fall under 5 categories:
1. Recognition of moving objects 2. Posture/gesture recognition 3. Environment recognition 4. Sound recognition 5. Face recognition.
Recognition of postures and gestures
Positioning and movement of a hand,
recognizing postures and gestures.
Can react and be directed to both voice commands and natural movements of human being.
Recognize when a handshake is offered.
A person waving at it.
Movement directions.
Facial recognition
ASIMO has the ability to recognize faces, even when ASIMO or the human being is moving.
It can individually recognize approximately 10 different faces. Once they are registered it can address them by name
Conclusion
History of humanoid robot
Reasons for its existence
ASIMO
And now The Big Question?
