What are humanoid robots?

  • The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. 
  • In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs.
  • There are several companies that have already developed the most advanced humanoid robots such as Sophia, Destiny, Erica, Junko Chihira and Nadine.

According to Elon Musk, initially, Optimus, an allusion to the powerful and benevolent leader of the Autobots in the Transformers media franchise, would perform boring or dangerous jobs, including moving parts around Tesla factories or attaching a bolt to a car with a wrench.

Sophia-

  • It is a social humanoid robot developed by the Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. 
  • Sophia was activated on February 14, 2016, and made her first public appearance in mid-March 2016 at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, United States.
  • She is the world’s first robot citizen and the first robot Innovation Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme.

Vyoma Mitra-

  • Vyommitra is a female-looking spacefaring humanoid robot being developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) to function on-board the Gaganyaan, a crewed orbital spacecraft. 
  • Vyommitra was first unveiled on 22 January 2020 at the Human Spaceflight and Exploration symposium in Bengaluru.
  • It will accompany Indian astronauts in space missions and will also be a part of uncrewed experimental Gaganyaan missions prior to the crewed spaceflight missions.
