c) Orientation motors
d) Axis motors
View Answer
Explanation: The motors used in humanoid robot are called as Actuators. They help the humanoid bots to mimic the motion like that of an actual human being. B-O motors are not so accurate to provide the precession in movement which is needed.
5. Humanoid robot is same as chatbots.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The humanoid robot and the chatbots are not the same. The chatbots only respond verbally or textually but the humanoid robots have to show interaction through expressions, movements, verbally and other humanly behaviours.

d) March 16, 2012
View Answer
Explanation: The humanoid robot “Sophia” was first activated on February 14 in the year 2016 with the capabilities of Facial Recognition, Artificial Intelligence, visual data processing. She could interact and could reply through speech. Scientists are still working on it to make advancements.
7. ZMP in terms of humanoid robotics stands for ____
a) Zero Moment Point
b) Zero Mean Point
c) Zenith Moment Point
d) Zenith Measurement Point
View Answer
Explanation: ZMP stands for Zero Moment Point. It’s basically a concept that is associated to the movement of the legs of a robot. It’s a crucial concept for the biped robots as they have only two contact points (contacts at the bottom part of the leg). Others do not relate to any robotic contexts.

a) It’s used for sensing humidity
b) It’s used for sensing heat
c) It’s used for measuring distance
d) It’s used for sensing the presence of nearby objects
View Answer
Explanation: Proximity sensors can detect the presence of the nearby objects without making any physical contact with it. They are also used in mobile phones which is used to turn off the mobile screen when it’s placed near the ear.
