1. The Evolution of Androids The spark of the idea

2. The First Android to be made and its evolutions Created by Honda, they started with biped robots to understand the physics of walking Starting with E0 in 1986 to E6 in 1993 P1 in 1993 is the first robot to have the anatomy of a human P2 also in 1993 was the first android with realistic human movements such as walking and hand and arm movements. P3 and 4 had their sizes reduced and P4 (aka ASIMO) being the current model has advance walking technology

3. ASIMO was created in 2000 The purpose of ASIMO was to create a robotic partner for humanity that could aid us in all of our tasks Research of the human limbs and joints were need to understand how to create movement Research of how to walk and balance itself on multiple types of surfaces. Recognition of object, postures, gestures, environment, sounds, and faces Capable of connecting to the internet and answering questions Human like responses and interacting with the environment http://world.honda.com/ASIMO/

4. QRIO created by Sony in 2003 (prototypes started in 2001) Being only 2 feet tall, it was meant to be a toy for children Similar to ASIMO, it has face and voice recondition and can use it to interact with people First ever robot to have the ability to run (move with both feet off the ground) Also capable of interacting with tools such as golf clubs http://www.sonyaibo.net/aboutqrio.htm

5. HOAP HOAP was created by Fujitsu, 1 st prototype created in 2001 and 3 rd created in 2005 1 feet and 7 inch tall HOAP was designed more for an AI in such a way that it was able to learn and emulate human movement more smoothly In 2004, HOAP-2 received the Technical Innovation Awards from the Robotics Society of Japan This robot is capable of doing many complex movements such as getting up from a sitting position, kicking a ball, climbing stairs, martial arts, and sumo movements http://www.communistrobot.com/robots/99

6. Actroid is created by kokoro company LTD and developed by Osaka University in 2003 Actroid purpose is to interact with humans by greeting and giving information out They are also capable of being an aid to certain professions They have the ability to speak, sing, dance Made for either entertainment, pratical applications, or research Very life like and very realistic and closest thing to a human http://www.kokoro-dreams.co.jp/english/robot/act/index.html

7. Other Androids Later androids will be developed by different companies but are fairly similar to its predecessors but maybe be developed for specific tasks TOPIO was created by TOPY to play ping pong against human opponents (2007) HRP is created by National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology to simulate human characteristics(2009) SURALP is Turkey's first Android, developed by Sabanci University (2009) Robonaut is created by NASA and General Motors to work on space stations in outer space environment (2010) Surena is created by the students of University of Tehran in Iran (2010) TOPIOHRPSURALP RobonautSurena
