Humanoid robotics concerns the study of robots that assume a human form factor. The term is loosely applied to robots that try to match a human form factor in various ways, and exact matching is not required. Usually, this means mobile robots (walking and sometimes on wheels), with human height (5 to 6 feet, although sometimes only as tall as children), and bimanual platforms, with grippers or multi-fingered dexterous hands for end effectors. Actuating a full humanoid—with legs, multi-fingered hands, and torso and head mobility—may be harder, for which reason roboticists may opt to simplify the platform in various ways (wheels instead of legs, grippers instead of hands, etc.).
