Emerging Humanoids and Humanlike Robots

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Coming Robot Revolution

Abstract

In recent years, the number of lifelike humanoids and humanlike robots has grown significantly. Some of the leading countries in which such robots have been developed include Japan and Korea, but researchers and engineers in other countries, including the United States and China, are also extensively involved in developing such robots.
