A Review of Humanoid Robots Technical Characteristics in the Application for Robotic Teacher

Abstract:

Robots are not rare applications anymore due to the advanced technology today. Everyone knows robots have been used in many fields. Humanoid robots are especially desirable in human society as they can work well in indoor environments that have been designed for humans. The technical characteristics for humanoid robot teacher listed in this paper are facial expression, walking, speaking and hearing, body gestures, and vision. These characteristics are believed to be essential in every humanoid robot involved in education. Technical explanations for each characteristic are provided throughout this paper. The list of robots that can be used as a robotic teacher is also given in this paper.
