In robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most exciting field I can say. AI robotics deals with creating efficient and intelligent robots. AI robots are human-made artificial things that act in a real-world environment and do useful stuff. In today’s most advanced AI techniques, the metal and plastic replica of the human body is called a “humanoid robot”, and has the great potential to become a supreme machine. And the analysis shows the humanoid robots will surpass human intelligence by 2030. In today’s article, we will take a look at the top 5 Humanoid AI robots 2024, which are made to tackle the different challenges present in our real world.
Here are the top 5 Humanoid AI robots in 2024
ASIMO by Honda
Honda has made the most advanced and probably the most expensive (nearly US $250,000) humanoid AI robot called ‘ASIMO’. With the significant improvement in autonomy, improved balanced capability, upgraded recognition system, and other technological improvements, the latest ASIMO version was introduced in 2011.
ASIMO can adapt to the environment and thus it can move around in crowded places such as shopping malls, museums, and stations. It can climb stairs, can walk on any surface like a human.

ATLAS Unplugged by Boston Dynamics (Google)
After the grand success of PETMAN, Boston Dynamics has made this high mobility, a humanoid robot called as ‘ATLAS’. It was designed to negotiate with the outside environment and rough terrains. It can climb using hands and feet and can walk on lower limbs to leave the upper limbs free to lift or carry something or to manipulate the environment. The first version of Atlas was introduced in July 2013.
The latest version of Atlas with an electrical and control tether to operate the robot is the new generation robot dubbed as ‘Atlas Unplugged’. According to Google’s Boston Dynamics who is the manufacturer of the robot, the machine is nearly 75% new from the previous version, the lower legs and feet remain the same, though. The robot is designed for search and rescue and is made with articulate hands and a full suite of sensors.

Wrap-Up of Humanoid AI Robots List
An advanced humanoid robot can talk, walk, run, jump, and similarly climb the stairs as we humans do. Such an AI humanoid robot can recognize objects and people, can talk, and maintain a conversation. Though doing some great and amazing things, there is a lot of scope for improvement to make the humanoid robots act like real humans. Not only in industries, laboratories, factories, and warehouses, humanoid AI robots are becoming a part of our society and part of our lives, too.
At the moment such humanoid robots are found in limited numbers as they are pricey and in low demand. But, the market will change shortly, and soon we will see these AI robots ordered in bulk numbers. This list of the Top 5 Humanoid AI Robots 2024 is to give you information about what we had the best in our research. There are a few other humanoid robots that can also be put on the top-rated lists.
