In this thrilling journey through the annals of robotics history, we witness the evolution of humanoid robots from da Vinci's knight automaton to the cutting-edge AI androids of today. From the ingenious designs of Pierre Jac in 1774 to Captain William Richards' creation of Eric the robot in 1928, each innovation pushes the boundaries of what machines can achieve. Westinghouse Corporation's Electro in 1939 and Wasa University's Wobot One in 1967 set the stage for a new era of intelligent robotics, paving the way for Honda's groundbreaking humanoid models in the 1980s and 1990s.
Honda's relentless pursuit of robotic excellence shines through in models like the P1 with arms and grippers, the P2 capable of pushing carts, and the P3 showcasing remarkable walking abilities. Asimo's introduction in 2000 marks a new chapter with advanced features like voice command response, while the hrp2 intelligent humanoid by Japan in 2002 integrates cutting-edge computer vision for object identification. From the realistic EQ1 by Koro in 2003 to the affordable bipedal robot by Condo Kagaku in 2004, each creation adds a unique flavor to the diverse world of humanoid robotics.
The unveiling of Kakuro's Q2 Actroid in 2005, with enhanced articulation and a sensory system, sets a new standard for realism in humanoid robots. Pal Robotics' Rema in 2006 introduces onboard AI with a chess engine, while Toy Robotics' Topo robot impresses with its pingpong-playing skills in 2007. Boston Dynamics' Petman in 2011 showcases exceptional walking abilities, while the German Research Foundation's Nimbro in 2012 takes soccer playing to new heights. From the conversational Nadine by Nanyang Technical Institute in 2014 to the agile Atlas by Boston Dynamics in 2015, each creation in the world of humanoid robotics adds a layer of innovation and excitement to the field.
