Humanoid Robot: A Review

Technology is ever evolving regardless of the current conditions. Emerging technologies have capability to change the world. Innovation is everywhere we look. One of the technologies that is emerging is Humanoid Robotics. This paper gives a review about influence of Humanoid Robot in human life also discuss the appearance of various robots. Artists, engineers and scientists have all been inspired by the human body and intellect. Humanoid Robotics is focused with the creation of robots that are inspired directly by human abilities. A humanoid robot is the one with a body that is designed to look like a human. Humanoid Robots imitate characteristics of human form and behaviour selectively. The robot could be used for practical purposes, such as interacting with human equipment and environments or for research purposes, such as investigating biped walking.

Human Following Robot Using Arduino

Humanoid robotics is an emerging research field that has received significant attention during the past years and will continue to play an important role in robotics research and many applications of the 21st century and beyond. In this rapid moving world, there is a need of robot such a “A Human Following Robot” that can interact and co-exist with them. Because of its human following capability, these robots can work as assistants for humans in various situations and it can also acquire or monitor certain information associated with the human subject. In this paper we present a prototype that uses Arduino Uno along with basic sensors such as ultrasonic and IR sensor. All the processing is carried out by the microprocessor while the control of the motors is carried out by the controller. This robot can further be modified by using many technologies such as Bluetooth, PixyCamera etc.
