In 2025, engineers in China showed off a walking robot shaped like a person, with dozens of moving joints that let it stride across a stage almost like a human model.

What do we call a robot that is built to look and move like a person?

A humanoid robot
A humanoid robot is a robot built with a head, arms, and legs like a person, so it can walk, wave, and move the way we do.

A humanoid robot has a head, arms, and legs arranged like a person's, with joints letting it bend, step, and balance similarly to a human. Engineers build robots this way to move through spaces made for people.

A kite is a simple flying toy held up by wind and string, with no joints or human shape. A whistle just makes a sound when blown, neither related to human-like robots.

Building a robot that walks on two legs is one of the hardest engineering challenges, since it must constantly adjust balance without thinking.
