The rapid development and implementation of humanoid robots has emerged as a key field of study in modern robotics, aimed at replicating human motion and behaviour to assist in various applications. This project focuses on the design and fabrication of a humanoid robot specifically tailored to assist in college admission processes. The primary objective is to create a robot that can interact with prospective students / parents / guardians, provide detailed information about courses, campus facilities, and admission procedures, and enhance the overall efficiency and experience of the admission process. The design phase emphasizes a flexible mechanical structure (Humanoid Robot) that mimics human movements, ensuring both functionality and an approachable appearance. This project aims to design a humanoid robot with additive manufacturing process for cost effectiveness. Various parts of the robot are designed in the Solid Work's Software and then the parts are printed with the help of a 3-D printer (material-PLA (Polylactic Acid)), and then they are assembled with addition to various components like servo motors etc. The fabrication process involved precision machining and assembly of parts, followed by the incorporation of sensors, actuators, and a robot control system. Humanoid robot is equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, enabling it to engage in meaningful conversations and process complex information efficiently. The successful implementation of this humanoid robot for college admissions not only illustrates a significant technological achievement but also sets a standard for further advancements in the field of educational robotics. The final prototype will be tested in a real-world college admission setting to evaluate its performance, usability, and impact on the admission process. Feedback from users will be gathered to refine the robot's functionalities and enhance its user interface. The project aims to demonstrate the potential of humanoid robots in transforming administrative processes and providing innovative solutions in educational environments.
