Talk:Humanoid robot

message: Most of the sections are incoherent. There are grammar errors and general need for copy-editing, lead and introduction sections should be entirely rewritten IMHO.
Sensors and actuators sections are entirely out of place, perhaps better substituted by a section discussing general technologies that are particular to humanoid shaped robots, contrasting them to other robotics.
The developments timeline is pretty random too.
Should be tagged for full rewrite, copy-editing and expert attention ? Savuporo (talk) 06:10, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Structure of the article 

message: -"A humanoid robot is an autonomous robot because it can adapt to changes in its environment or itself and continue to reach its goal. This is the main difference between humanoid and other kinds of robots."
-This is completely false and unaccurate. A humanoid is not necessarily autonomous (Asimo is not) or adaptive or intelligent. This IS NOT the "main difference" between anything. This should be deleted or modified
:I agree. Callivert (talk) 12:57, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  seconded. Most of current humanoids around are telerobotic not autonomous, with only a slight degree of autonomy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Savuporo (talk • contribs) 20:37, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

text: I'm thinking about moving the timeline to a position near the bottom of the article and putting it in a table.  Any objections?  I wouldn't be any good at saying which entries are more notable, or which should stay or go, but I would suggest moving it to its own page if it continues to grow.

thread_title:  Completely wrong definition 

message: I added Shadow Hand from the timeline as it is not a full humanoid robot.  I think that at this late stage in development, there are too many new advances in the technology of separate parts for them to be included in such a timeline.  Further, I feel that new and expected advances shouldn't get new entries - those should be reserved for entirely new serious humanoid robot projects.  I've moved the link to the "See also" section.

thread_title: Shadow Hand

message: I strongly support the proposed merge - let's face it - this is the same subject. Ok, so these articles have slightly different flavours, but they're made of the same stuff. Forgive me if I've made a mistake, but I see no other discussion of the proposed merge here. Tree Kittens 08:14, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I dispute the idea that finding or not something in a dictionary made by someone (or even in wiktionary)  serves as a justification for anything. (but that doesn't mean I support or not any actions regarding the actoroid thing, or whatever) -- NIC1138 (talk) 17:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

text: That is likely the important images (photos) in those articles are part of Wikipedia Commons thus they are free and will not be deleted, the remaining fair use images are of fiction and they either belong in those articles or aren't needed at all. - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed merge

message: Since "human" comes from Latin, and the -oid thing is Greek, can we say this is one of those word invented mixing up Latin and Greek carelessly? Wouldn't "anthropoid" be more correct?
I dispute a bit this idea that "android" means a strictly "male humanoid", and gynoid (why not "gymnoid"?) is the female counterpart. I would like to remove this from the article, and certainly I would like to move this sentence away from the beginning of it... -- NIC1138 (talk) 17:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology 

message: is one of the main contributors to Wikipedia (over 67,000 edits; he's ranked 198 in the number of edits), and practically all of his edits have to do with Islamic science, technology and philosophy. This editor has persistently misused sources here over several years. This editor's contributions are always well provided with citations, but examination of these sources often reveals either a blatant misrepresentation of those sources or a selective interpretation, going beyond any reasonable interpretation of the authors' intent. Please see: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85. That's an old and archived RfC. The point is still valid though, and his contribs need to be doublechecked. I searched the page history, and found 10 edits by Jagged 85 (for example, see this edit ). Tobby72 (talk) 15:03, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misuse of sources 

message: Danim reversed my correction on this point in the timeline.  The description is far too broad and doesn't apply to the current state of ASIMO's capabilities.  Besides, the SONY QRIO had similar functionality to the current ASIMO - it was designed to be completely autonomous (much like the AIBO) and had been shown navigating complex environments on its own.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamsSSessions (talk • contribs) 02:33, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  ASIMO is not the first autonomous humanoid 

message: Danim removed a link to Plastic Pals, which lists more than 380 humanoid robots.  A similar website, Android World and Razor Robotics were permitted, despite the fact they contain less information and are poorly sourced.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamsSSessions (talk • contribs) 02:35, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

In particula their KHR-3HV R2 can be mentioned alongside the heel-to-toe gait upgrade by Masahiko Yamaguchi (see i-programmer.info post.
It is a small robot, similar to the Nao, but perhaps worth mentioning.
