User Responses to a Humanoid Robot Observed in Real Life, Virtual Reality, 3D and 2D

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Humanoid robots (i.e., robots with a human-like body) are projected to be mass marketed in the future in several fields of application. Today, however, user evaluations of humanoid robots are often based on mediated depictions rather than actual ...

A lightweight prosthetic hand with 19-DOF dexterity and human-level functions

Nature Communications
A human hand has 23-degree-of-freedom (DOF) dexterity for managing activities of daily living (ADLs). Current prosthetic hands, primarily driven by motors or pneumatic actuators, fall short in replicating human-level functions, primarily due to limited ...

Humanoid Robot

International Journal of Advanced Research in Science, Communication and Technology, 2023
A humanoid robot is a robot simulating the human body. The design is for functional purposes, like interacting with human tools and environments, for the purpose of experimentation, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have body parts like humans, though some humanoid robots may replicate only part of the body, for example, from the waist

Single-parameter programmed thermomechanical actuation via 3D-printed helical director fields in liquid crystal elastomers

Nature Communications
Stimuli-responsive material like liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) hold great promise for untethered soft machines, yet conventional extrusion-based 3D printing restricts their molecular alignment strictly to the uniaxial deposition path.
