What is a humanoid robot called? Androids and humanoids. BINA48 - female robotic head
It is currently moving towards a point where a new type of brain for robots can be invented that will allow them to perform ever more skilled tasks, hinting at the next stage in the evolution of machines.
This list of robots developed over the past few years demonstrates that the above is even earlier than we think.
1. Atlas Unplugged
The latest version of the Atlas is slightly taller and heavier than the previous one, standing 1.88m tall and weighing 156.4kg. According to its creators, 75% of the humanoid is updated - only the lower part of its legs and feet remained unchanged.
2. ASIMO and P-series from Honda
ASIMO is a big plus for Honda's international branding. It helps the company to shape its image in the field of innovation and technology.
ASIMO is the 11th in a line of P-series walking robots developed by Honda. Introduced in 2000, ASIMO can walk and run like a human, which is already amazing. ASIMO received a major upgrade in 2005, allowing it to run twice as fast (6 km/h), interact with people, and perform everyday tasks like holding a plate and serving food. The number of current ASIMO models is 100 pieces worldwide, its height is 1.28 m and its weight is about 55 kg.
ASIMO looks fun and cute in his space suit. It paved the way for many subsequent models of walking robots, but is still considered an advanced and powerful robot.
ASIMO is a big plus for Honda's international branding and helps the company shape its image in terms of innovation and technology. ASIMO also appears in commercials for Honda and performs extensively. This robot is on this list because of its charming appearance, worldwide fame and advanced development technology.
3.iCub
The appearance of a humanoid is an embodied hypothesis about cognition.
The RobotCub Consortium was created, consisting of several European universities. His name is partly an abbreviation, "CUB" stands for "Cognitive Universal Body" (Universal Cognitive Body).
The appearance of a humanoid is an embodied hypothesis about cognition. It is believed that the manipulation of a humanoid creature plays an important role in the development of human cognition. The child learns many cognitive skills by interacting with the environment and other people using his limbs and senses, and hence his internal model of the world is largely shaped by the shape of the human body.
The robot was created to test this hypothesis. Its development used cognitive learning scenarios by accurately reproducing the perception and articulation system of a small child so that the robot can interact with the outside world in the same way that children do.
4. Poppy
The creators of Poppy have focused on biologically correct walking, which they hope will promote better human-robot interaction.
Poppy is one of the latest developments in humanoid robotics and the first of its kind to be created using a 3D printer. A group of French researchers was able to cut costs by a third using the latest 3D technology. The creators of Poppy have focused on biologically correct walking, which they hope will promote better human-robot interaction.
It has a five-motor articulated spine, almost unheard of among robots of this size. The spine not only allows you to move more naturally, but also helps him balance by adjusting his posture. The added flexibility helps with physical interaction with the robot, such as guiding it with your hands, which is currently needed to help the robot walk. In the video, you can see the incredibly natural walking of the robot - from heel to toe.
5. Romeo
Romeo is about the size of a child of eight (1.40 m) and weighs a little more (40 kg).
Romeo aims to be a leader in robotic assistance and personal assistance with a more significant emotional component. Romeo is the descendant of a small humanoid robot named NAO, with over 5,000 sales and rentals worldwide.
The robot is the size of an eight-year-old child (1.40 m) and weighs a little more (40 kg). To be as light as possible, its body is made of carbon fiber and rubber and has been designed to avoid the risk of harm to the person it will help. Today, Romeo can walk, distinguish three-dimensional surroundings, hear and speak.
The schedule for testing the robot in real conditions is planned for 2016, the ultimate goal is to be ready for use in nursing homes in 2017 or 2019. The development is partly funded by the French government and the European Commission, with a projected budget for the development of the Romeo of 37 million euros for the period 2009-2016.
6. Petman
Petman balances and moves freely; walks, bends down and performs various physical exercises under the influence of chemical radioactive substances.
Petman is an anthropomorphic robot designed to test chemical protective clothing. Natural movement is very important for Petman to simulate a situation where a soldier in protective clothing is exposed to external influences in real conditions.
Unlike previous suit testing robots, which had a limited range of motion and had to be supported mechanically, Petman is balanced and free to move; walks, bends down and performs various physical exercises under the influence of chemical radioactive substances.
Petman also mimics the physiology of a human wearing a hazmat suit by controlling temperature, humidity and perspiration to provide realistic test conditions. The Petman system was provided for testing and is currently being tested.
7. NAO
NAO is a 58 cm high humanoid robot. It was created to be a friendly companion for the home. Since 2008, several versions of the robot have already been released.
The best-known instance of NAO is the Nao Academics Edition, which is designed for universities and laboratories to aid in research and development. It was released to institutions in 2008 and became available to customers by 2011. More recent updates to the Nao platform include 2011 Nao Next Gen and 2014 Nao Evolution.
Robots in and commercial users and research institutes around the world.
It comes with a standard set of phrases to which you can add your own recorded expressions or unique content. Motion, sound and video files can also be downloaded.
9. Aiko Chihira
Can work autonomously, speak and gesticulate while communicating with people. Researchers have recently demonstrated that it is more advanced than the average similar androids. The robot knows sign language and automatically adapts to the position of the interlocutor.
10. Half-dance robots - Lexy and Tess
At CeBIT in Hannover, a German developer software assembled a stand where he put up two dancing robots along with a robot DJ with a megaphone on his head. Two robot girls move to the beat of the music near the pylons, but everything is surprisingly cultural. According to the BBC, you can purchase such a robot for $39,500.
Robots from America, Europe, Korea, Russia that can run and climb stairs, work as waiters, play the violin and talk, do push-ups and empathize

Android technology is developing at a crazy speed.
Here is just a small list of 15 robots that are frighteningly similar (especially externally) to humans.
The world's first news anchor robot
The world's first android newscaster spoke about the earthquake and the FBI raid in Tokyo on June 24, 2014.
In fact, two androids were created - an "android girl" (kodomoroid), who can read the news in different voices and in different languages, and an "android woman" (otonaroid), who will play the role of a disseminator of information in the National Museum of Advanced science and technology, or simply Miraikan.
In the video you can see how these robots work.
BINA48 - female robotic head
The woman's memories, beliefs, and core personality traits were translated into a single robot called Bina48 (Breakthrough Intelligence via Neural Architecture, 48 exaflops per second processing rate and 48 exabytes of memory).
By itself, the robot is quite complexly designed and is able to communicate on the topic of philosophy, identify the racist inclinations of the interlocutor, and even tell jokes.
It is worth noting that the name of the robot came from the name of the wife of the founder of the company Terasem Movement Foundation who created the robot, Bina Aspen.
For 20 hours, they talked with her on various topics, ranging from childhood to career. Further, all the information was loaded into the artificial intelligence database. Robot designer David Hansen only created a bust of Bina, but it cost US$125,000.
SimMan 3G Patient Simulator
This robot was created so that doctors can improve their knowledge and skills by practicing on this simulator.
The machine may be quite useful, but it looks a little intimidating, especially when the simulation of bleeding, convulsions, screaming and foaming at the mouth begins.
SimMan 3G was created to simulate almost any situation described in a medical book.
Geminoid F - female robot
Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro outdid himself when he created Geminoid F, a female-looking android that can smile, move its eyebrows, talk, and even sing.
To make the face, it was necessary to use 12 control mechanisms that work thanks to air pressure. This allows the android to recreate human facial expressions.
Geminoid F is so realistic that he even played the female lead in one of the performances in Tokyo.
Geminoid DK - living robot
Another creation of Ishiguro recreates the image of Henrik Scharfe, assistant professor at Danish Aalborg University.
According to the inventor, his goal was to understand the "emotional capabilities" of the robot while communicating with a person.
In the video, you can see how realistic facial movements, blinking and mouth movements are.
Simroid - dental training robot
Perhaps the most disgusting thing about this robot is the fact that the "skin" around its mouth is so elastic that it can be stretched far more than human skin without cracking.
The robot's mouth is stuffed with sensors so that the robot can simulate pain or discomfort.
The robot can also grunt if the doctor accidentally hits it with an elbow.
Albert Hubo - Robot Einstein
The robot (more precisely, the robot head), which looks a lot like Albert Einstein, runs on AA batteries.
It boasts realistic facial expressions and the head can be attached to the robot's body.
HRP-4C - human robot
This robot was designed to look like a typical Japanese teenager.
The HRP-4C went through several stages of technological evolution - at first he could only speak, then he began to sing, and then he danced (albeit a little strange).
Like most robots, this model could not simulate a human walk until it went through the next stage of improvement.
Even though this robot still walks a bit unevenly, a lot of improvements have made it more realistic than other androids.
FACE - flexible face robot
Can a robot express emotions, and so convincingly that it frightens? This is the goal pursued by the Italian developers of the FACE robot.
Their robot is equipped with 32 mechanisms located in the skull and torso to mimic various expressions.
The robot is able to convey feelings of fear, anger, disgust, surprise, joy and sadness.
ASIMO - a robot that can do almost everything
The robot built by Honda can run, climb stairs, jump and kick a ball.
In addition, he can also perform various actions with his hands. With five fingers, he can open the cap of a sealed bottle and pour the juice into glasses.
Such a huge number of possibilities are the result of the work of many sensors embedded in the hand, and working in conjunction with cameras installed in the eyes of the robot.
PETMAN - military robot
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has created many robots for various missions, but PETMAN is perhaps the most amazing of them all.
The robot, which looks like a man wearing a camouflage suit, can climb stairs, do push-ups, run, and do many other movements on the battlefield.
Alice - the first realistic android from Russia
A group of specialists from the Neurobotics company are involved in the creation of the very first Russian android robot.
Of course, this robot cannot be compared with Japanese counterparts, which contain about 30 moving mechanisms for smoother movements. Alice has only 8 such mechanisms.
And yet the robot can be controlled with a gamepad. You can perform basic eye and mouth movements of the robot.
It is worth noting that the head of the android is mounted on the body of a conventional mannequin, which in turn is attached to a cart with wheels, which allows the robot to move. Inside the cart, you can find batteries to supply the robot with energy.
The robot can use Skype to communicate, and cameras installed in the eyes of the android transmit video. Microphones are used to transmit audio.
It remains to be seen when this robot will be brought to perfection.
Giant robotic female wrestlers
These robots are the attraction of Tokyo's first robot restaurant.
It cost US$125.8 million to build a place where you can eat and relax, despite the fact that the menu mainly contains drinks.
Bikini-clad androids with legs that look like they're borrowed from Transformers can wrestle each other to Lady Gaga's music, and visitors will have to shell out $50 to watch them wrestle.
RoBoy is a 3D printed robot
Roboy is a 3D printed humanoid. It was built to help doctors diagnose stroke victims and understand how the brain and body interact.
"RoBoy will mimic diseases that doctors need to diagnose," said Raphael Gosteller, head of the Roboy project at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. He added that all the data can be further used in the field of prosthetics.
The robot was created by a team of over 40 engineers and scientists.
He has soft, supple skin, modular muscles, and to better mimic human muscles, the engineers attached coil springs to them.
The most difficult part of building the robot was constructing the arms. They were first 3D printed along with the joints. After that, a large number of wires were inserted inside, placing them along thin channels.
To improve muscles, ligaments and related electronics work, a team was assembled from the AI Lab of the University of Zurich and the Myorobotics Research Project, which is overseen by the Embedded Systems Lab of the Technical University of Munich.
RoBoy was first presented to the public in March 2013 in Zurich. After that, he started his tour of the world. The robot demonstrated its skills at various exhibitions and theaters.
Android technology is developing at a crazy speed. Robots are becoming eerily similar to people, both externally and in their characteristics. Scientists have already calculated that in a couple of decades, robots will become part of our lives, working for the benefit of a person and his family. Here is just a small list of 15 robots that are frighteningly similar (especially externally) to humans.
