This chapter outlines a number of research lines that, starting from the observation of nature, attempt to mimic human behavior in humanoid robots. Humanoid robotics is one of the most exciting proving grounds for the development of biologically inspired hardware and software—machines that try to recreate billions of years of evolution with some of the abilities and characteristics of living beings. Humanoids could be especially useful for their ability to “live” in human-populated environments, occupying the same physical space as people and using tools that have been designed for people. Natural human–robot interaction is also an important facet of humanoid research. Finally, learning and adapting from experience, the hallmark of human intelligence, may require some approximation to the human body in order to attain similar capacities to humans. This chapter focuses particularly on compliant actuation, soft robotics, biomimetic robot vision, robot touch, and brain-inspired motor control in the context of the iCub humanoid robot.

The assisted assembly of customized products supported by collaborative robots combined with mixed reality devices is the current trend in the Industry 4.0 concept. This article introduces an experimental work cell with the implementation of the assisted assembly process for customized cam switches as a case study. The research is aimed to design a methodology for this complex task with full digitalization and transformation data to digital twin models from all vision systems. Recognition of position and orientation of assembled parts during manual assembly are marked and checked by convolutional neural network (CNN) model. Training of CNN was based on a new approach using virtual training samples with single shot detection and instance segmentation. The trained CNN model was transferred to an embedded artificial processing unit with a high-resolution camera sensor. The embedded device redistributes data with parts detected position and orientation into mixed reality devices and collaborative robot. This approach to assisted assembly using mixed reality, collaborative robot, vision systems, and CNN models can significantly decrease assembly and training time in real production.

Background: In machine vision, the 3D reconstruction is widely used in medical system, autonomous navigation, aviation and remote sensing measurement, industrial automation and other fields, and the demand for reconstruction precision is significantly highlighted. Therefore, the 3D reconstruction is of great research value and will be an important research direction in the future. Objective: By reviewing the latest development and patent of 3D reconstruction, this paper provides references to researchers in related fields. Methods: Machine vision-based 3D reconstruction patents and literatures were analyzed from the aspects of the algorithm, innovation and application. Among them, there are more than 30 patents and nearly 30 literatures in the past ten years. Results: Researches on machine vision-based 3D reconstruction in recent 10 years are reviewed, and the typical characteristics were concluded. The main problems in its development were analyzed, the development trend was foreseen, and the current and future research on the productions and patents related to machine vision-based 3D reconstruction is discussed. Conclusion: The reconstruction result of binocular vision and multi-vision is better than monocular vision in most cases. Current researches of 3D reconstruction focus on robot vision navigation, intelligent vehicle environment sensing system and virtual reality. The aspects that need to be improved in the future include: improving robustness, reducing computational complexity, and reducing operating equipment requirements, and so on. Furthermore, more patents on machine vision-based 3D reconstruction also should be invented.
