VARIOUS PROJECTS ABOUT HUMANOID ROBOT AROUND THE WORLD

A humanoid robot is a robot with its overall presence based on that of the human body, allowing interaction with made-for-human tools or environments. Basically humanoid robots have a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, Even if some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots may also have a 'face', with 'eyes' and 'mouth'. Androids are humanoid robots built to theory of art resemble a human.

ASIMO

Manufacturer - Honda

Type - Humanoid

Height - 4'3 tall

Weight - 53.97kg

Released - 2000

Website - asimo.honda.com

ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) is a humanoid robot. ASIMO is the culmination of two decades of humanoid robotics research by Honda engineers. It has the ability to that can climb stairs, recognise faces, and maintain a conversation with someone. ASIMO has the ability to walk over uneven surfaces and run at 9 km an hour.

CHARLI

Manufacturer - Virginia Tech Engineering Students

Type - Humanoid

Height - 4'7 tall

Weight - 12.24kg

Released - 2010

CHARLI (Cognitive Humanoid Autonomous Robot with Learning Intelligence) is the first atomise, autonomous, full-sized, walking, humanoid robot with four moving limbs and a head, built in the United States. CHARLI can talk and is learning to play soccer at the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMela) at Virginia Tech.

NASH

Manufacturer - Associate Professor Xie Ming

Type - Humanoid

Height - 1.8m tall
Operating Time - 2 Hours

NASH STANDS FOR NTU(Nanyang Technological University) ADVANCED SMART HUMANOID. NASH  is able to gesture, walk, climb stairs, follow verbal instructions and recognise objects such as apples and cups. It can easily carry up to 40kg worth of weight on its torso, and it can able to hold up to 10kg per arm.

RIBA-II

Developed by - RIKEN and TOKAI Rubber Industries

Type - Humanoid

Height - 137cm tall

Weight - 230kg
Length and Width - 103cm long and 82cm wide

RIBA-II, the new version of nursing-care assistant robot RIBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance). Each arm has 7 degrees of freedom, its neck has 3 DOFs, its waist has 2 DOFs, with 3 DOFs more thanks to its omnidirectional base. A new version of the robot is even better at picking up and carrying disabled patients of up to 80kg, which is 19kg more than the first RIBA could handle. Moreover the robot can to lift a patient from a floor thanks to introduction of a powerful new joint that lets RIBA-II bend deeply at the waist. It can then transfer the patient to a wheelchair (and back again). 

PI4_Workerbot

Manufacturer - Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology IPK, Berlin

Type - Humanoid

The PI4_Workerbot can study new tasks without needing to be programmed line by line. PI4_workerbot has two 7 degree of freedom arms, which allow it to move an item from one hand to another, which is useful when examining the entire surface. It can hold an egg without cracking it. Its head is implemented with three cameras: a 3D camera observes its surroundings, while the other two can be used for detailed inspection tasks. It can also show various emotional expressions on face.

LUNA

Manufacturer - RoboDynamics

Type - Humanoid

Height - 157cm tall

Weight - 30kg

Luna introduced by RoboDynamics, world's first personal robot designed for mainstream consumer adoption. Luna is the first robot to feature a native App Store, standard PC architecture, an open Linux based operating system, touch screen display, Wi-Fi, and multiple tactically located standard USB based expansion ports for infinite expandability. it has equipped with camera, microphone, speakers and 8 inches touch screen for holding live video conversations. If we charge once it can move on a stable wheeled base and can operate for 4 hours. It has prime sense 3D sensor, with this LUNA can capable to  navigation and obstacle avoidance.

CIROS 3.0

Type - Humanoid

Height - 160cm tall

Weight - 150kg

Degrees of Freedom - Waist: 1 DOF / Manipulator: 7 DOF x 2 / Pan-Tilt : 2 DOF
Hand : 4 DOF x 2  / Mobile : 2 DOF

CIROS stands for Center for Intelligent Robotics. The household service robot CIROS is intended to help out around the home by performing simple duties. Also CIROS is able to recognise common objects as well as kitchen appliances like microwaves, sinks, refrigerators, and dishwashers, and can move intelligently through its environment. The robot's head contains stereoscopic cameras and a 3D IR sensor, which it uses to recognise objects. Moreover, robust speech recognition is made possible with a 12-piece microphone array. It can detect and avoid obstacles in its vicinity thanks to a pair of laser range finders and six ultrasonic sensors in its body. 

SDA5D

Manufacturer - Yaskawa Motoman

Payload - 5 kg/arm

New Motoman SDA5D robot has 15 axes of motion i.e 7 axes per arm, plus a single axis for base rotation. Internally routed cables and hoses reduce interference and maintenance, and also make programming easier. Both robot arms can work together on one task to double the payload or handle heavy, unwieldy parts, trays or pallets.  It can hold a part with one arm while performing operations on the part with the other arm, and can also transfer a part from one arm to the other with no need to set the part down.
