- The humanoid robots are designed to behave and interact in an environment like a human-being. It should be just task-based robot. All people should be to interact with them as talk to them. The robots should also react to peoples reactions such as nodding, smiling etc.

-Unlike industrial robot, humanoid robots should be flexible and autonomous. They do not need human control and be adaptable to the environment around them.

-A humanoid robots should be social by interacting with people on emotional level, i.e. it gets confused when a human is doing something too fast in front of the robot that the robots can not follow. Emotional reactions are the most difficult to implement. They should also interact verbally by giving feedback on something. The robot should also be able to recognize verbal commands from the people, therefore a robot should recognize things such as the tone and pitch of the voice. A universal humanoid robot should also be able to recognize multiple languages.

The paper Humanoid Robots: A New Kind of Tool is about the humanoid robots.[1] It explains that the humanoid robots are design to behave and interact in an environment like a human-being. It should be a task-based robot, which mean it executes a specific task. Humanoid robots are interactive with people, which mean they can have a conversation with people and even take verbal commands.

In this paper they have implemented a humanoid robot and discussed its hardware and software.

Hardware:

The size of the robot is important for humans and therefore they designed a 120 cm tall robot. The diameter is 40 cm and the weight is about 40 kg.

The robot has a human-like appearance and various sensors such as vision, touch, and audition. It has two arms, a head, two eyes, and a mobile platform with 2 driving wheels and 1 free wheel. The robot has ten tactile sensors around the mobile platform and 24 ultrasonic sensors for detection of obstacles. It has two microphones to listen to human voices. The eyes have a pan–tilt mechanism with direct-drive motors, and they are used for stereo vision and gazing control. It also has skin sensors for interactive behaviors.

It has also a battery with lifetime of 4h and can be charged at a charging station.
