In January 2014, the IEEE Eastern North Carolina Section Robotics and Automation Chapter embarked on an ambitious project to pool the resources of local engineers in the Research Triangle Park area to build a humanoid robot. With the audacious goal of building a robot that is indistinguishable from a human being, the team set off to gather requirements, architect, and prototype the technologies that would make up this robot. This talk will provide a brief overview of the project, the dream, and the challenges that lie ahead on the long road to produce a machine with humanlike characteristics and behaviors. Intended as a tool to inspire both experienced engineers and students aspiring to be engineers, the humanoid robot project aims to fulfill IEEE's mission by fostering technological innovation that will lead to a better understanding of technology and humanity.
