Researchers have developed a humanoid robot that can not only mimic human activities but also learn by simply following our movements.Researchers at Stanford University have developed a robot called “HumanPlus.” The researchers claim that by observing human behavior, it could learn to play the piano, return a ping-pong ball, or perform other tasks.
What system does this robot use?
According to team member Jipen Hu of Stanford University, the humanoid robot It uses a single RGB camera and a full-body strategy to mimic human motion.

According to the researchers, HumanPlus requires 40 hours of human motion data to incrementally learn and execute a task. camera It then replays that activity in real time.
Who was used as the basis for this robot?
The humanoid was built using Unitree's H1 robot as a base, with hands from Inspire-Robots and wrists from another company. The final specimen stands 5 feet 9 inches tall.
Another feature is, robot Its open source design allows it to be updated with features in the future as needed.
How can we develop a similar model?
The researchers have also made the GitHub repository available for anyone wanting to develop a similar model on their own. The Stanford researchers have also published pricing information for the various components used in HumanPlus.

But getting a working model like HumanPlus isn't cheap: The team's initial estimate put the robot's development costs at around $107,945.
But considering the number of actions it can mimic and perform, it could be one of the most affordable alternatives on the market right now.
