What is a humanoid?

Robots are fascinating machines that are imagined to coexist with humans when one envisages the future. In most parts of the world, robotics technology has become an important part of everyday lives. Robots that used to exist as factory automatons and as research ‘articles’ in solitary labs in universities are now gaining places in our lives in a multitude of roles. The expanding role of robots coincides with the sole purpose of improving the lives of mankind. Humanoids; possess even greater interest as their anthropomorphic body structure are akin to actual human and they are regarded as the future of robotics. Excerpt from IEEE Spectrum By definition: A humanoid robot is a robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body. In general humanoid robots have a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, although 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', ...

Nao Robot Goes to School to Help Kids With Autism

hi there :) The manufacturer of the humanoid robot NAO; Aldebaran Robotics had reached another fantastic milestone regarding their contribution to the autism community worldwide.  ASK NAO (Autism Solution for Kids) was created by Aldebaran Robotics to customize NAO, in order to support teachers with in-class tasks and help children with autism reach new levels of greatness. http://asknao.aldebaran-robotics.com/ This initiative was developed after noticing that many children with autism seem 'magically' attracted to technology therefore allowing NAO to become the perfect bridge between technology and our human social world. ASK NAO  is designed for schools and healthcare institutions  ready to drive special education into the future. NAO becomes a real user-friendly assistant to support teachers with daily in-class tasks, facilitate communication with parents, and bridges the gap with children with autism so they can reach new l...
