Abstract
Socially active humanoid robots (SAHRs) are designed to communicate and interact with humans in humancentric environment using speech, movements, gestures, or facial expressions to communicate with their users following some set of social behavior while providing their assistance. Just like humans interact in an adaptive manner with others by changing their speech, tone, and body language intuitively, such type of adaptive behavior can be developed in SAHRs to get a human-like rich interaction capabilities. Therefore, a lot of research work and studies are going on to replicate various behavioral aspects of humans into SAHRs, so that human-robot interaction can be improved further. Besides interacting with humans, humanoid robot should be able to perform the assigned tasks remotely and also in real time with better accuracy. Thus, these social robots designed can be used in a diversified field of applications like education, healthcare, entertainment, communication, constructions, medical, collaborations, hazard management systems, etc.
