Communicative Development and Diffusion of Humanoid AI Robots for the Post-Pandemic Health Care System
As humanoid robot technology, anthropomorphized by artificial intelligence (AI), has rapidly advanced to introduce more human-resembling automated robots that can communicate, interact, and work like humans, we have begun to expect active interactions with Humanoid AI Robots (HAIRs) in the near futu...
