A '''humanoid robot''' is a [[robot]] resembling the [[human body]] in shape. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of [[bipedalism|bipedal locomotion]], or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some humanoid robots may replicate only part of the body. [[Android (robot)|Android]]s are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble humans.
