Artificial Intelligence Brings Humanoid Robots to Life
The vast majority of robots do have several qualities in common.
Firstly,
* almost all robots have a movable body.
* some only have motorized wheels, and others have dozens of movable segments, typically made of metal or plastic.
* like the bones in your body, the individual segments are connected together with joints.
Researchers have a variety of goals for artificial intelligence.
Some scientists are examining human biology together with artificial
intelligence in an ef fort to create robots that are as humanlike as possible.

Humans in 2050
```Professor Peter Stone of the Department of Computer Sciences,the University of Texas at Austin, is dedicated to the goal of the RoboCup Federation, which is to build a humanoid robot team that can defeat the best human world cup team on a real soccer field by 2050.
According to Dan Burrus, founder of Burrus Research Associates, Inc., and a long-time roboticist, it is more likely that Professor Stone will reach his goal by the 2030 to 2040 time frame. Accomplishing Professor Stone’s goal will solve many important challenges and problems around AI for humanoid robotics. Examples include the robot agility problem (having robots run quickly and manipulate their motors in a very granular way so that they can kick a soccer ball), planning, teamwork, and higher level cognitive functioning. “The robots need to be able to reason about their opponents and not fall for the same trick over and over,” Professor Stone explains.

***AI Today
Today, artificial intelligence is good at all the
things that modern day computers are good at,
such as searching through databases of
information looking for the most relevant records.
“Humanoid robots really are computers,” says.
Robots are not better than people
at physical motion, though that is what we
primarily think of robots as doing.
Robots do not yet have the same degrees of
freedom that humans have. Researchers are
working on this, including robots with degrees of
freedom in their backs, through use of spines that
mimic the capabilities of human spines.
“But, giving robots spines is difficult and expensive.”
***Conclusion
In order for truly humanlike humanoid robots
to model the capabilities of people, they must be
instilled with intelligence for a number of individual
tasks and accomplishments. Taken together,
however, these different types of intelligence will
form building blocks for more fully humanlike
behaviors and thinking.
