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

                     •    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,

                  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.


                          Robots vs Humans— Advantages and Disadvantages

                  One of the most commonly debated topics nowadays is about the forthcoming victory of
                  intelligent machines over mankind. It is projected that they will take over the world, our jobs,
                  be able to function autonomously and become more intelligent than us. Even the brightest

                  minds of our era, like Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk believe they could pose
                  a threat to humanity. Let us now understand what are the areas where machine supersede
                  humans and where humans are ruling the world of machines.
