Fundamentals of Social Humanoid Robot Programming – Kolektif – Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi Yayınları

Social humanoid robots are designed to mimic human appearance, movement, and behavior, combining advanced robotics with AI for social interactions. Equipped with sensors, cameras, microphones, and complex algorithms, they perceive their environment and respond to human cues. The current advances in social humanoid robots are numerous and groundbreaking, warranting careful observation. A needs survey identified deficiencies in knowledge regarding their utilization. Learning objectives were adapted to address these gaps, providing comprehensive knowledge on programming social humanoid robots. These robots represent a significant intersection of technology, AI, and human interaction, capable of revolutionizing healthcare, education, customer service, and entertainment. Understanding their programming and societal perception is vital to overcoming negative reservations. This overview covers social humanoid robots' purpose, capabilities, societal impact, and the technical fundamentals of robotics and programming, including psycho-pedagogical and ethical aspects of human-robot interaction, enabling practical classroom implementation and critical perspective development.
