What do Humanoids Learn from Humans?<o:p></o:p>

Humanoid – human-like (resemblance) robots.<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

Discussed the modeling of humanoids by looking at the human anatomy. In particular, the framework of bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles.<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

This is interesting, but where is the learning science connection? When do we talk about learning? If I wanted to build a humanoid, I would be loving this, but this isn’t really about what humanoids learn from humans, it’s about what robot designers learn from the human body.<o:p></o:p>
