INSTRUCTIONAL HUMANOID ROBOT APPARATUS AND A METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An instructional humanoid robot for teaching and performing a set of instructions, comprises:
- (a) a humanoid body, comprising a torso having a right leg, a left leg, a right arm, a left arm secured thereto, and a head connected to said torso via a neck;
(b) at least one first means in said head to move said head laterally from a first position to a second position, wherein said first position and said second position are approximately 180 degrees from each other, at least one second means in said head to move said head vertically from a third position to a fourth position so as to form a nodding movement;
(c) at least one means in said torso to connect to said right arm, so as to provide humanoid-type movement to said right arm;
(d) at least one means in said torso to connect to said left arm, so as to provide humanoid-type movement to said left arm;
(e) at least one means in said torso to connect to said right leg, so as to provide humanoid-type movement to said right leg;
(f) at least one means in said torso to connect to said left leg, so as to provide humanoid-type movement to said left leg;
(g) at least one means secured to a right foot of said right leg so as to provide human-like pivoting movement to said right foot;
(h) at least one means secured to a left foot of said left leg so as to provide human-like pivoting movement to said left foot; and
(i) at least one means in said torso to move components connected to said torso in human-like positions, and thereby forming said instructional humanoid robot, for teaching and performing a set of instructions.

19. A method for teaching and performing a set of instructions using an instructional humanoid robot comprising:
-
(a) at least one means for instructing said humanoid robot to raise both arms from a first position to a second position while said humanoid robot is in a standing position, wherein in said first position said arms are along a side of said humanoid robot, and wherein in said second position each hand of said arm are substantially adjacent to a corresponding ear for each hand of said arms; (b) at least one means to move said arms from said second position to a third position, wherein said third position is over a chest area of said humanoid robot, such that a portion of a right hand is over a portion of a left hand; (c) at least one means to move said hands from said third position back to said first position; (d) at least one means to move said hands from said first position to a fourth position, wherein said fourth position allows the placement of said right hand onto a portion of a right knee, while said left hand is placed along a portion of a left knee, and forming a bowing posture; (e) at least one means to move said hands from said fourth position back to said first position; (f) at least one means to move said hands from said first position to a fifth position, wherein said fifth position places said humanoid robot from said standing position to a prostrating position on a ground, such that a portion of the face, said hand, said knees, and foot are all on the ground and substantially planer to said ground; (g) at least one means to move said humanoid robot from said fifth position to a sixth position, wherein said sixth position allows said humanoid robot to be in a sitting position such that said foot and said knees are on the ground while a portion of the hips are resting on a portion of said foot, and the chest area is in a substantially erect position, and wherein said hands are over a corresponding thigh portion of said humanoid robot; and (h) at least one means to move said humanoid robot from said sixth position back to said first position.

20. A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for an instructional humanoid robot for teaching and performing a set of instructions, the method steps comprising:
-
(a) at least one means for instructing said humanoid robot to raise both arms from a first position to a second position while said humanoid robot is in a standing position, wherein in said first position said arms are along a side of said humanoid robot, and wherein in said second position each hand of said arm are substantially adjacent to a corresponding ear for each hand of said arms; (b) at least one means to move said arms from said second position to a third position, wherein said third position is over a chest area of said humanoid robot, such that a portion of a right hand is over a portion of a left hand; (c) at least one means to move said hands from said third position back to said first position; (d) at least one means to move said hands from said first position to a fourth position;
wherein said fourth position allows the placement of said right hand onto a portion of a right knee, while said left hand is placed along a portion of a left knee, and forming a bowing posture;(e) at least one means to move said hands from said fourth position back to said first position; (f) at least one means to move said hands from said first position to a fifth position, wherein said fifth position places said humanoid robot from said standing position to a prostrating position on a ground, such that a portion of the face, said hand, said knees, and foot are all on the ground and substantially planer to said ground; (g) at least one means to move said humanoid robot from said fifth position to a sixth position, wherein said sixth position allows said humanoid robot to be in a sitting position such that said foot and said knees are on the ground while a portion of the hips are resting on a portion of said foot, and the chest area is in a substantially erect position, and wherein said hands are over a corresponding thigh portion of said humanoid robot; and (h) at least one means to move said humanoid robot from said sixth position back to said first position.
