A humanoid made up of Mahjongg tiles

As you know, we are very interested in humanoid robot, human walking, so we decided to build a small humanoid robot.

We were the very first team in the United States that qualified in the humanoid RoboCup competition.

We truly believe this is going to be the very first running humanoid robot in the United States. So, stay tuned.

But what we do know is that it isn't 10 years or 10 billion dollars or a large humanoid robot away.

So, this is for the best humanoid, and we would like to bring this for the very first time, to the United States next year, so wish us luck.

And the goal of RoboCup, the actual goal is, by the year 2050 we want to have full size, autonomous humanoid robots play soccer against the human World Cup champions and win.

Paleoanthropologist Zeresenay Alemseged looks for the roots of humanity in Ethiopia's badlands. Here he talks about finding the oldest skeleton of a humanoid child and how Africa holds the clues to our humanity.

Sharing the results of a massive, worldwide study, geneticist Svante Pääbo shows the DNA proof that early humans mated with Neanderthals after we moved out of Africa. He also shows how a tiny bone from a baby finger was enough to identify a whole new humanoid species.

At TEDxNASA, Dennis Hong introduces seven award winnning, all terrain robots like the humanoid, soccer playing DARwIn and the cliff gripping CLIMBeR all built by his team at RoMeLa, Virginia Tech. Watch to the end to hear the five creative secrets to his lab's incredible technical success.

Well, one of the things that we've learned is that, if we design these robots to communicate with us using the same body language, the same sort of non verbal cues that people use like Nexi, our humanoid robot, is doing here what we find is that people respond to robots a lot like they respond to people.
