Humanoid robot is the robot which is similar to human being in anthropometric structure. It has different body parts like two legs, two hands, head and trunk. Due to this anthropometric similarity, these robots can do everyday task but only being a humanoid robot doesn't allow that it can perform the entire task that a human being can do. The dynamic performance of the humanoid is promising and the present scenario it is a typical task to maintain its dynamic stability, that is the reason for targeting a special purpose in the designing a humanoid robot. Applications of humanoid robot are common in the field of healthcare and education but we are trying to use a humanoid in different field which can be hazardous for mankind but require human skill to perform that task like in mining where hazardous gas may be present, bomb disposal squad, spraying disinfectant as well as in field like cleaning jobs, distribution of required things. As we know we are currently surviving from noble Covid-19 disease where humanoid robot assistant can be fruitful in different applications like spreading of sanitizers, distribution of food materials as well as food packets, thermal scanning etc. but this can be technically challenging and fascinating. The humanoid robot using artificial intelligence (AI) can also be utilized for spreading awareness against the Covid-19 disease. This article is about the discussion and finding out the usefulness in different humanoid application and its technical aspects.
