A humanoid robot is a type of robot designed to resemble the human body in appearance and movement. These robots typically have a head, torso, arms, and legs, allowing them to perform tasks that require human-like dexterity and mobility. They can be programmed to interact with people and their environment, making them useful in various fields such as healthcare, education, and entertainment. Many humanoid robots are equipped with advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and sensors, enabling them to recognize speech and respond to commands. Notable examples of humanoid robots include ASIMO by Honda and Sophia by Hanson Robotics, which showcase the potential of robotics in enhancing human-robot interaction.
