i +  NEXT GENERATION ROBOTICS

                 As  you  have  already  studied  various  applications  of  humanoid  robots  in  personal
                 assistance, caregiving, education and entertainment.

                 T-HR3


                 Like  real-world  human  avatar,  T-HR3  is  a  humanoid  that
                 mimics the movement of its human operator. This humanoid
                 has improved and natural walkability.


                 In future-these humanoids can perform surgeries while their
                 human  operator  doctor  could  control  them  from  another
                 part of the world.


                                                    Sophia


                                                    Sophia  is  the  first  humanoid  to  receive  citizenship  of  a
                                                    country. Perhaps the most recognisable face of humanoid,
                                                    who was developed by Hong Kong based Hanson Robotics,

                                                    and was activated on 14 February, 2016. In October 2017,
                                                    she became a citizen of Saudi Arabia.




                 Digit


                 Ford became the first owner to deploy Digit Humanoid into a factory
                 setting. Ford now envisions that Digit will ride in a driverless car and
                 deliver packages to customers, automating the whole delivery process.
                 For now, it is being tested as to how humans will react after meeting

                 this humanoid.



                                                    RoboThespian


                                                    RoboThespian  is  an  actor  that  comes  with  a  library  of
                                                    impressions,  greetings,  songs  and  gestures.  Several  of

                                                    these can be added together to become a robotic theatre.
