Take a glance at humanoid robots which are constructed in a way that they imitate the human body.

A humanoid is a non-human creature or better to say a robot that has a human form of characteristics. This type of robot is constructed in such a way that they imitate the human body. Therefore, actuators are used which functions like muscles and joints, though their structure is different. Rotary actuators are mainly used for humanoid robots to achieve the same effect as humans. Humanoid robots are being developed to perform human tasks like personal assistance, through which they should be able to assist the sick and elderly, dangerous jobs. Humanoids are also appropriate for some other vocation, such as reception-desk superintendents and automotive manufacturing line workers. Humanoid robots match the aspects of human behaviors and forms selectively. A variety of shapes and sizes are structured for humanoids starting from isolated robotic heads to complete human like-sized robots with human-like sensing and expression. In several scientific areas, Humanoid robots are used as research tools. Researchers study the human body structure and behavior to build humanoid robots.

Top trends:

• Engineers use research humanoids to research bipedal locomotion, AI, and to attract students to careers in engineering.
• Digital humanoids look and act like humans but are entirely virtual and are supposed to show emotions, learn from experiences, and have real conversations.
• Humanoid actor comes with a library of impressions, greetings, songs, and gestures and all these can be added together to create robotic theatre. 
• Educational humanoids are designed to be a friendly emotions-reading helper to work as a receptionist, in retail, and, even, as a nanny.
• Collaborative Humanoids Is designed to collaborate with humans in their homes to perform household tasks and smart home control.
