Design and Development of Cost-Effective Humanoid Robots for Enhanced Human–Robot Interaction

Industry Revolution Five (Industry 5.0) will shift the focus away from technology and rely more on to the collaboration between humans and AI-powered robots. This approach emphasizes a more human-centric perspective, enhanced resilience, optimized workplace processes, and a stronger commitment to sustainability. The humanoid robot market has experienced substantial growth, fueled by technological advancements and the increasing need for automation in industries such as service, customer support, and education. However, challenges like high costs, complex maintenance, and societal concerns about job displacement remain. Despite these issues, the market is expected to continue expanding, supported by innovations that enhance both accessibility and performance. Therefore, this article proposes the design and implementation of low-cost, remotely controlled humanoid robots via a mobile application for home-assistant applications. The humanoid robot boasts an advanced mechanical structure, high-performance actuators, and an array of sensors that empower it to execute a wide range of tasks with human-like dexterity and mobility. Incorporating sophisticated control algorithms and a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides precise and stable robot operation and control. Through an in-house developed code, our research contributes to the growing field of humanoid robotics and underscores the significance of advanced control systems in fully harnessing the capabilities of these human-like machines. The implications of our findings extend to the future development and deployment of humanoid robots across various industries and societal contexts, making this an ideal area for students and researchers to explore innovative solutions.
