    This study analyzes the importance and challenges of animatronic humanoid prototypes production within the robotic field in the United States of America to influence Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy. In fact, animatronic humanoid prototype has greatly inspired more designers and developers’ interest in the study of human and robot interaction in both scientists and enthusiast alike to aid in robotic production. The study adopted a narrative literature review and Boolean search technique to identify 22 researches and review articles that are related to applications, challenges and importance of animatronic humanoid robotics production and applications. As part of the findings for the study utilized for the article, many scholars made specific inferences to the robotic applications in firms, businesses, and nations. Out of the twenty-two articles, five of the researchers, thus 22%, underscored and also perceived that robots and machines with biped locomotion is one of the achievements of humanoid robotic production. Researchers of 4 articles—thus 18% -- explicitly stated in their research that one of the achievements of humanoid robotic production is “learning capabilities in robots”. The study further revealed that some of the evidenced-based research applications for humanoid robotic products include the following: Mitsuo Kawato of ATR Japan proposed using humanoid robots to study human behavior; In Europe- EU-funded projects, which include the large-scale NEUROBOTICS project; RobotCub project; Human Brain Project; Atlas humanoid robot by Boston Dynamics; and Wisdom of the robot Sophia in engaging in conversations, etc. Above all, this study revealed that complex environment, perception, human robot interaction, and collaboration in real life are some of the challenges identified in the literature. Therefore, in order to overcome such challenges—for the body of a robot, designers need to rethink the materials that robots are made of and leverage morphological computation to intrinsically balance and compensate for motion and dynamic behavior. Also, investors, policymakers, and public officials should invest more in innovative robotic production in order to promote businesses, bring about efficiency in operations, and to increase productivity.

    Get PDF
    This book provides state of the art scientific and engineering research findings and developments in the field of humanoid robotics and its applications. It is expected that humanoids will change the way we interact with machines, and will have the ability to blend perfectly into an environment already designed for humans. The book contains chapters that aim to discover the future abilities of humanoid robots by presenting a variety of integrated research in various scientific and engineering fields, such as locomotion, perception, adaptive behavior, human-robot interaction, neuroscience and machine learning. The book is designed to be accessible and practical, with an emphasis on useful information to those working in the fields of robotics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, computational methods and other fields of science directly or indirectly related to the development and usage of future humanoid robots. The editor of the book has extensive R&D experience, patents, and publications in the area of humanoid robotics, and his experience is reflected in editing the content of the book

    The technological advances in the robotic and ICT fields represent an effective solution to address specific societal problems to support ageing and independent life. One of the key factors for these technologies is the integration of service robotics for optimising social services and improving quality of life of the elderly population. This chapter aims to underline the barriers of the state of the art, furthermore the authors present their concrete experiences to overcome these barriers gained at the RoboTown Living Lab of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna within past and current projects. They analyse and discuss the results in order to give recommendations based on their experiences. Furthermore, this work highlights the trend of development from stand-alone solutions to cloud computing architecture, describing the future research directions
