Technical Design of Intelligent Humanoids

The book "Technical Design of Intelligent Humanoids" by Mohsen Davoudi offers a comprehensive analysis of the technical design aspects of humanoid robots. It combines the disciplines of mechanics, electronics, and computer science to illuminate the challenges and opportunities in robotics. A central theme of the book is the interaction between humanoid robots and humans, particularly the robots' ability to interpret and mimic emotional expressions. This could significantly enhance the acceptance of robots as partners in everyday life. A special chapter is dedicated to the implementation of emotions in humanoid robots and presents an innovative approach to modeling an emotion-based motion generator. This generator enables robots to produce emotionally expressive movements and imitate emotions in various situations, based on the Computational Theory of Perception (CTP).
