Page 8: Research news on Humanoid robotics
Humanoid robotics investigates the design, control, and deployment of robots with humanlike bodies and behaviors for physical, social, and cognitive tasks. Work in this area spans locomotion and manipulation, learning from human demonstrations, and integration with large language models and generative AI for natural-language-guided behavior. Researchers study social and affective dimensions of human-robot interaction, including mind perception, trust, comfort, and cultural variation, as well as applications in caregiving, therapy, domestic assistance, surgery, manufacturing, and public spaces, alongside safety, regulation, and labor impacts.
