Though there is various number of robot in the world to do various type of work, Humanoid robots hold the highest place in the robot world, because it's look like human and do what ever human do. There is very few humanoid robot's in the world, Because it is very difficult to construct and make that robot just walking.
The most advanced humanoid robot's of 2013 are
1.Honda ASIMO
2.kirobo and mirata
3.Kawada HRP-4
4.Aldebaran Nao
5.HUBO robot
1. HONDA - ASIMO
(THE WORLD'S MOST ADVANCED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HUMANOID ROBOT)
Building ASIMO is incredible challenge for HONDA engineers, In additio to powerful computer and sophisticated software,ASIMO represents years of research scientific field like Mathematics, Physics - study of motion and anatomoy - study of Human body structure and so on.
Asimo can walk and run like a human. while it is running, it will run like a human for flying into air for fraction of time between changing one leg to another leg. And also it can easily able to claim in stairs and come down easily. Also it is easily communicate with human using languages.
BALANCING:
Asimo uses POSTURE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY to proactively bend or twist it's body to maintain balance and prevents foot slipping while walking and running.
AVOIDING OBSTACLES:
Asimo uses ground and visual sensor to identify an obstacles and then autonomously select a different route to prevent collisions.
DIMENSIONS:
HEIGHT : 51inch / 1300mm / 130cm
WIDTH : 18inch / 450mm / 45cm
COMPOSITION:
Asimo body is made up of magnesium alloy covered with plastic resin, which make ASIMO durable and light weight.
POWER SOURCE:
Asimo is powered by a rechargeable battery 51.8 volt lithium ion battery(Li-ION) battery that lasts for one hour on single charge. This battery is stored in asimo's backpack and weights about 13 pounds or 6 KG.

2. KIROBO AND MIRATA:
Kirobo is Japan's first robot astronaut, developed by Tomotaka Takahashi, to accompany Koichi Wakata, the first Japanese commander of the International Space Station. Kirobo arrived on the ISS on August 10th 2013 on JAXA's H-II Transfer Vehicle Kounotori 4, an unmanned resupply spacecraft launched August 4th 2013 from Japan's Tanegashima Space Center. A twin to Kirobo, named Mirata, was created with the same characteristics. Mirata will stay on Earth as a backup crew member. The word "kirobo" itself is a portmanteau of "kibō" (希望), which means "hope" in Japanese, and the word "robo" (ロボ), used as a generic short word for any robot.
HUBO 2, which was completed in 2008, is comparable to Honda's ASIMObut was built in record time. Though ASIMO took 14 years to develop, KAIST's team matched its performance in just six years and did it at a fraction of the cost. With its combination of high tech and frugality, Rainbow Co. has successfully commercialized the robot as a research platform, with customers in China and Singapore.
3.Kawada HRP-4
HRP-4 is a life-size "platform for research and development of working humanoid robots" we have developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), an independent administrative legal entity.
Incorporating to the external design the "slim athlete" concept pursuing affinity with humans, HRP-4 has achieved the new, light-weighted and slim body while succeeding the concept of the conventional models HRP-2 or HRP-3 where the robots coexist with humans and assist or replace human operations or behavior.
Further, promotion of optimized specifications or component sharing/simplification has reduced the price for the robot, a great step forward the next-generation working humanoid robot.
For its control, HRP-4 employs OpenRTM-aist to make available national and international software assets, improving efficiency in research.

We will continue to advance our research and development on robots making use of the past robotics research and the development know-how obtained from HRP-4, and to create a robot that works in our living spaces and improves our quality of life.

4.Aldebaran Nao
NAO, the robot the present stole the provide evidence at the new Robotville event? Well, NAO’s right now exciting set of abilities hold recently kept on long amidst Aldebaran Robotics releasing a new version of its cute little humanoid robot. Around two thousand NAOs are spent for exploring and education purposes all everywhere the nation but now the current the NAO Next Gen is ready, the founder and chairman ofAldebaran Robotics, Bruno Maisonnier, hopes to see it become useful to humans in a a great deal more direct sense.
Cute Little Humanoid Robot
It’s new abilities are to construct it a good deal !no! versatile and, amid additionally things, prepare it for trying in on autistic children and the elderly.We discussed NAO in detail in 2009, and as of consequently not a good deal has will be on the outside. We are glad such is the state of affairs due to the fact that NAO could easily not get a good amount likable.

However, the interesting portion is what is hiding below the hood. For one thing, the Next Gen now has !no! computing gas at its disposal and manages multitasking much even better thanks to an on-board 1.6 GHz Atom processor. Also, NAO’s vision has acquired an upgrade amidst two HD cameras and the ability to method two video streams simultaneously.

This improves deal with and object recognition a good deal below influencing lighting conditions. There is additionally a sonar distance sensor, two infrared emitters and receivers, nine tactile and eight pressure sensors. All in all, a quite massive set of weapons this enable the robot to ideal navigate its environment.

NAO Next Gen has two microphones the current help it to pinpoint where a voice command, or any larger amount of noise for such a matter, is occuring from. New voice recognition service labeled Nuance coupled provided a “word spotting” functionality allows the robot to can identify sentences or isolate a single word based on information from a overall string of idioms in a sentence. Add a text to speech capability and fluency in 8 languages and NAO gets an interesting partner for discussions.

And this is not the end of utility tied advancements. The new NAO now boasts a technique to forestall limb/body collisions, an improved torque control mechanism and an adaptive walking algorithm. Should the 23 inch (59 cm) tall humanoid robot be pushed off balance, the slow down will be able to be merely cushioned. Once a being nervous shift in NAO’s heart of mass is detected, all motion-related actions are instantly put on own and the robot uses its limbs to cover itself against the impact, easily want a human would.

Aldebaran Robotics is now striving on educational content for the robot to be able to endeavor providing insane class under graduates and on skilled utility for customized well-being tied applications. That said, the best concern nearly NAO is this it is open to 3rd party developers. They now undergo a a greater amount of versatile and powerful software to play with, so we presume them to do a small amount of interesting situations amongst NAO in the future.
5. HUBO ROBOT
HUBO (휴보 KHR-3) is a walking humanoid robot, head mounted on a life-size walking bipedal frame, developed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and released on January 6, 2005. According to Hubo's creator Prof Jun-Ho Oh and his Plenary Session at ICRA 2012 entitled Development Outline of the Humanoid Robot: HUBO II the name Hubo is short form for nothing, it is just Hubo.
Hubo has voice recognition and synthesis faculties, as well as sophisticated vision in which its two eyes move independently of one another.
