The development of AI technologies brought many Humanoid Robots to market, and the top 5 advanced Humanoid Robots in the world in 2023 are listed below:
SOPHIA (HANSON ROBOTICS)
Sophia, developed by Hanson Robotics, is the most advanced humanoid robot who made her debut in 2016 and captivates audiences all over the world. Sophia is the world’s first robot citizen and the United Nations Development Programme’s first robot Innovation Ambassador. She appeared in Tonight Show and Good Morning Britain, as well as delivered speeches at hundreds of conferences worldwide. In understanding human-robot interactions and their services and entertainment applications, Sophia is a framework for cutting-edge robotics and AI research. Hanson Robotics, the Hong-Kong based company created Sophia to look like the famous Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn to fit her as an old age companion in nursing homes or a crowd manager in events. She has neural networks and AI embedded in her to recognize human faces and understand their gestures and emotions. Sophia becomes the audience’s favorite by her appearance in high-profile interviews events and other discussions around the world.
ATLAS (BOSTON DYNAMICS)
Atlas was developed by Boston Dynamics in 2013 with a prime focus on locomotion, first walking in the lab, then walking on every type of unstable terrain, and performing some sick Parkour tricks. The company launched Atlas with funding from the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Other than identifying obstacles in the path, avoiding, bouncing, and performing somersaults, Atlas can perform additional body movements similar to gymnasts. Atlas uses depth sensors for real-time perception and model predictive control technology to improve motion. Atlas sees two sensors which are a color camera and a Lidar module producing a colored point cloud.
AMECA (ENGINEERED ARTS)
Ameca is the world’s most advanced, most realistic humanoid robot created by Engineered Arts in 2021. Ameca’s first video was released publicly on Dec 1, 2021, and received a lot of attention on Twitter and TikTok. It is primarily intended to serve as a platform for the advancement of robotics technologies involving human-robot interaction. AMECA employs embedded microphones, binocular eye-mounted cameras, a chest camera, and facial recognition software to interact with the public. GPT-3 or human telepresence can also control interactions. Its artificial limbs, ligaments, and sensor arrays are all made with cutting-edge technology.
NADINE (KOKORO)
Nadine, an empathetic robot developed by the Japanese company, Kokoro in 2013 responds to greetings, makes eye contact, and remembers all comments and conversations with her. She has a human-like personality, mood, and emotions. She was created by simulating human behavior with cutting-edge technology. Nadine has 3D depth cameras, a microphone, and a webcam to collect visual and audio inputs. Various perception layers process these inputs to recognize various faces, gestures, emotions, and behavior to analyze and respond appropriately. She has built, – chatbots to handle various queries and also a memory model to remember different users and conversations with them. In addition, Nadine is fluent in six languages: English, Hindi, French, Japanese, Chinese, and German.
ASIMO (HONDA)
ASIMO or Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility is a humanoid robot created for search and rescue missions. It can recognize moving objects, postures, gestures, and the surrounding environment as well as sounds and faces, allowing it to interact with humans. Asimo has two camera eyes in the head which capture visual information that detect the movement of multiple objects and determines distance and direction. ASIMO can differentiate between voices and other sounds that enable it to recognize its companions. It responds to various questions by nodding and speaking in different languages and can recognize almost ten different faces and address them by name.
