Humanoid robot for educational and assistive applications

This work presents development of custom made humanoid robot that can be used for educational and assistive applications using Robot Operating System (ROS) platform. This robot is capable of localizing itself within working vicinity and can perform different tasks such as teaching demonstration, human interaction and grasping of an object using ROS Moveit package. The development cost of the system is comparatively cheaper than the available standard international products and real scenario performance results of the system have been found satisfactory.
