Description:
The need for anthropomorphism in domestic robotics is classically illustrated by the problem of staircases. It is not feasible to alter houses or to remove the staircases. It is possible to design robots with stair-climbing attachments, but these are usually weak spots in the design. Providing a robot with the same locomotive structures as a human will ensure that it can certainly operate in any environment a human can operate in. The development of the robot is facilitated by the extensive research into the anatomy and physiology of the human; it is hoped that eventually the work done by the Shadow Project can have some impact on further research and development in these and related fields, such as prosthetic design.
