Abstract
A humanoid android including a head assembly, an upper body assembly, and a legs assembly mimicking human movements. The head assembly and the legs assembly are attached to the upper body assembly resembling a human body. The humanoid android further comprises a skin assembly including a skin that can be of different colors to resemble humans of different ethnicities. The human android further has a processor unit programmed to learn mimicking human movements.
Claims8
A humanoid android, comprising:
- a. an upper body assembly including a trunk and robotic arms configured to mimic human movements;
- b. a legs assembly including robotic legs configured to mimic the human movements, wherein said robotic legs assembly is operatively attached to the upper body assembly;
- c. a head assembly including a robotic head configured to mimic a head of a human, said head is operatively attached to the upper body assembly;
- d. an artificial skin covering said upper body assembly, said legs assembly, and said head assembly;
- e. a plurality of pressure sensors integrated into said artificial skin, said pressure sensors configured to detect touch and provide environmental touch feedback to enable detection of surroundings;
- f. a plurality of facial clips attached to an interior portion of said artificial skin at a face portion of said head assembly, wherein said plurality of facial clips comprises:
- i. frontal clips located on forehead and eyebrow portions;
- ii. nasal clips located around a nasal portion;
- and
- iii. oral clips located around a mouth portion;
- g. a set of facial actuators embedded inside said head assembly;
- h. wires operatively connecting said plurality of facial clips to said set of facial actuators, wherein said set of facial actuators independently actuate said frontal clips, said nasal clips, and said oral clips via said wires to stretch and compress said artificial skin at said face portion to mimic human facial expressions;
- and
- i. a processor unit operatively connected to said pressure sensors and said set of facial actuators.
