Humanoid robots are designed to perform tasks and act in ways similar to humans. Technically, they can have human-like appearances and behaviors.

These robots are capable of performing human-like actions, as they possess heads, hands, and legs resembling those of humans.

Some of the most well-known humanoid robots that operate using artificial intelligence (AI) include Tesla’s Optimus, Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, and Xiaomi’s CyberOne.
