Humanoid Robotics – Past , Present State , Future –

Humans are the most advanced creatures of the nature. I believe that humanoid robots will be the most advanced creatures of humans. Among the man-made creatures such as automobile, hand-phones and multimedia devices, robots of future will hopefully be the most ideal assistants to human beings. Robots can live up to this expectation because future intelligent and autonomous robots could free humans from, or ease them up of, repeatedly undertaking physically and mentally challenging routines. For instance, Robot Doctor could provide medical advices, pre-diagnostic, and even assist in surgical operation; Robot Nurse could assist patients in hospital or at home; Robot Soldier could participate in military intervention, and even fight terrorism; Robot Tutor could help our students to have a better learning experience; Robot Guard could make our society much safer; Robot Maid could keep our house clean and secure, and even help look after elderly people at home; Robot Rescuer could be deployed to places where human lives are in danger. The list of potential applications with intelligent and autonomous robots is growing.
