Choosing a humanoid robot for a university
How research groups and teaching labs can match a platform to their work and budget.
Start with the research question
Locomotion research benefits from a robust biped with low-level joint access. Manipulation research needs capable hands and arms. Human–robot interaction work may be better served by a smaller social robot.
Teaching versus research
For teaching, smaller and lighter robots are safer and easier to share between groups. For research, developer configurations with full SDK access are usually essential.
