humanoid robots
Artificial bipedal machines
Humanoid robots are machines built to resemble the human body, typically with a head, torso, arms, and legs.
The design allows them to navigate environments made for people and use tools designed for human hands.
They range from industrial assistants to experimental companions: The company unveiled a humanoid robot that can walk, climb stairs, and carry boxes.
The term distinguishes them from other robot forms—wheeled, spider-legged, or purely mechanical arms.
