“…Early robots were involved in the industrial and manufacturing units to perform tasks like welding, part assembly, etc., but more recent humanoids are used for a wider range of applications, especially along with helping people in day-to-day life. With technological advancement, humanoid robots are being widely used as social robots in the field of healthcare to assist in rehabilitation, therapy, autism [19] as well as diabetics [20], cancer and cerebral palsy [21] patients. This spread of applications is due to the change in the economic paradigm from mass production to small quantity batch production by diverging the concept of people in the use of humanoids.…”

The main contribution of this paper is the design and development of the lower body of PANDORA (3D-Printed Autonomous humaNoid Developed for Open-source Research Applications), a new humanoid robotic platform implementing additive manufacturing techniques. The three joint configurations (hip, knee, and ankle) along with the major three structural parts (pelvis, thigh, and shin) of the lower body are discussed. The use of 3D printing and PLA+ material makes the robot an affordable solution for humanoid robotics research that gives a high power-to-weight ratio by significantly reducing the number of parts, as well as manufacturing and assembly time. The range of motion of the lower body of PANDORA has been investigated and is found to be comparable to a human lower body. Further, finite element analysis has been performed on the major parts of the lower body of PANDORA to check the structural integrity and to avoid catastrophic failures in the robot. The use of in-house developed actuators and robot electronics reduces the overall cost of the robot and makes PANDORA easily accessible to the research communities working in the field of humanoids. Overall, PANDORA has the potential for becoming popular between researchers and designers for investigating applications in the field of humanoid robotics, healthcare, and manufacturing, just to mention a few. The mechanical designs presented in this work are available open source to lower the knowledge barrier in developing and conducting research on bipedal robots.

Mapping is an essential and basic requirement for a mobile robot in order to be able to navigate autonomously. This paper proposes a solution for autonomous navigation and real-time mapping using the virtual humanoid robot called NAO. The robot navigates through its environment using ultrasonic sensors only and develops a 2-D map of the environment. For implementation and testing, the Webots simulator was used. It provides real-time values, modification and designing of the 3-D world arena, and plugins for other parameters control. We test autonomous navigation in differently shaped environments. The proposed mathematical algorithm allows the autonomous navigation of the robot and calculates the position of the robot and the obstacles (if any). The results indicate that the algorithm can localize the robot within the environment whereas the accuracy in localization can be increased by adding a control constant to the orientation of the robot. The results demonstrate that the algorithm is more effective in the rectangular arena than in the triangular and pentagon arenas.

“…The robot may follow or move toward an object based on its mobility, and communicate with individuals through its speaker using natural language techniques. [13] Robots can work in two modes, remotely controlled or autonomous, and are programmed to do specific activities. [13] These types of robots can promote mobility; [14] guide the elderly; [14,15] encourage physical activities; [16] improve cognitive abilities through group activities, memory tests, or game playing; [14,17] or be used at smart houses in the configuration of an IoT solution.…”

As per the World Population prospects (19th revision), in 2019 every 11th person (11% of the population) was aged 65 or older and by 2050 every 6th person (16% of the world population) will be aged 65 or older. This rapid growth in people aged 65 and above has and will continue to pose some health management concerns, especially in the elderly with chronic ailments. The need for care provision for the elderly has provoked an exploration of various solutions to address elderly care management. Non-pharmacological interventions that utilize technology, such as robotics, are solutions that have proven to prolong independence and delay the admission of elderly into assisted care facilities. This paper will explore the various types of robotic solutions that are currently available to offer elderly care. This study will look at robotic solutions that are humanoid, animal-like, and robots that do not resemble humans or animals and their applications in elderly care. The various applications of robotics and the respective types of robots utilized in the provision of care in elderly care will be discussed as well.
