Comme son nom l'indique, un robot humanoïde est un robot conçu pour ressembler à un humain. Les objectifs d'un tel robot sont divers et variés : ils vont de l'interaction avec des hommes au secours de personnes en zones sinistrées dangereuses à une assistance quotidienne aux humains [...] Ces objectifs demandent notamment aux robots humanoïdes la compréhension des mécanismes sous-jacents du cerveau humain ainsi qu'une locomotion effcace et précise. 3, record 1, French, - robot%20humano%C3%AFde
