The robotic arm was made to dance, and had 32 unique dance moves, such as "ass shake", "scratch an itch", and "bow and shake". [1] These dances functioned as technical representations of the artists' machine animation skills as well as the artists' desire to anthropomorphize the sculpture and parallel its existence to that of a human.

Robot Shalu is a homemade social and educational humanoid robot [1] [2] developed by Dinesh Kunwar Patel, [3] [4] an Indian Kendriya Vidyalaya Computer Science teacher from Mumbai. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It was built using waste materials [ 7 ] [ 8 ] and can speak 47 languages, including 9 Indian and 38 foreign languages.
A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm; the arm may be the sum total of the mechanism or may be part of a more complex robot. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion (such as in an articulated robot ) or translational (linear ...
Ai-Da can be displayed in either a standing or seated position; although it has legs, it cannot walk. [12] A pair of cameras in the robot's eyes allow the robot to both make eye contact and, in conjunction with a computer vision algorithm and a modified robotic arm, create sketches of the robot's surroundings.

Valkyrie, a humanoid robot, [1] from NASA. A humanoid robot is a robot resembling the human body in shape. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head ...
The robot’s body can sit upright and move its arms around in various directions. [2] The robot's lower body operates with three degrees of freedom while the arms utilize a four-degree-of-freedom system, possibly so the robot can perform whole-arm grasping. [3] Drums located inside of the robot produce sounds as the rest of the body moves. [2]
In 2009, Takahashi developed Ropid, a robot that can jump three inches off the ground. Ropid is a carbon fiber and plastic droid that weighs 3.5 pounds. [14] Ropid responds to voice commands; he can get up, walk, run and jump. [15] Ropid's name is a combination of the words robot and rapid.
