Application of Humanoids

                  Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans. Some of the applications
                  of humanoids are:


                                                   Healthcare

                                                 In the field of healthcare humanoid robots are frequently used to treat
                                                 autistic children and has been able to distress level in children suffering
                                                 from cancer and cerebral palsy.




                  Education

                  In  the  field  of  education  these  humanoids  enhance  student
                  participation.





                                                    Art and entertainment

                                                    Georgia Tech's marimba-playing robot can now compose and
                                                    sing  its  own  music.  Gil  Weinberg's  robots  have  progressed
                                                    from  being  able  to  dance  along  to  music  that  they  hear,  to
                                                    being able to improvise along with it. Now, Shimon, Singer and
                                                    Song  Writer  Robot  is  being  able  to  compose,  play,  and  sing
                  completely original songs.
                  The deployment of Robots in the healthcare industries was felt more during pandemic. Some
                  robots could help relieve tired nurses, do some basic cleaning and could help to supply food
                  packages to the patients. Industrial robots could help to maintain production for manufacturing
                  companies while their human co-workers are quarantined. Robots with humans could help and
                  ease out human responsibilities. Thus, we can say Robots are useful during war and peace.

                      MECHATRONICS

                  The field of mechanics and electronics together have given rise to a new
                  emerging  sector  called  Mechatronics.  Now,  robotics  is  exploring  the
                  possibility  of  helping  physically  challenged  people  to  overcome  their
                  limitations.  For  example,  a  mechatronic  arm  is  being  developed  to  assist
                  people who have a problem with basic mobility.
                  Robots  have  found  an  important  place  in  the  surgical  procedures  also.
                  Unmanned surgery, surgery with minimum cutting or puncturing of skin has              Robotic Arm
                  been possible because of robots. Robotic surgery not only reduced the pain of people, it also
                  reduced blood loss and transfusions. The surgical procedures are very precise and the process
                  requires smaller incisions. Virtual reality surgeries are conducted without hurting a real person.
                  This technology has been used by surgeons for practicing and mastering the techniques.
