open-in-new
<h2 id="technical-specifications">Technical specifications</h2> <p>Manav is 2 feet tall and weighs 2 kilograms. It has a rechargeable <a href="/facts/Lithium_polymer_battery/0I2uusoW">lithium polymer battery</a>. Manav's outer body was designed in A-SET's <a href="/facts/3D_printing/lbvWU3t0">3D printing</a> laboratory and is made of <a href="/facts/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene/WrksnpMv">acrylonitrile butadiene styrene</a> (ABS) plastic.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> It has a total of 21 degrees of freedom, two of which provide head movement allowing it to nod and look around. 1 degree of freedom goes to the waist which allows it to articulate the waist movement, allowing for a more human-like movement. The Robot is also equipped with <a href="/facts/Wi-Fi/u94quCsx">Wi-Fi</a> and <a href="/facts/Bluetooth/sWAjpMrj">Bluetooth</a> connectivity. It could perpetrate various activities like walking and dancing using human voice commands. It uses <a href="/facts/Binocular_vision/koERAQCV">binocular</a> vision processing, giving it the ability to perceive depth and perspective. </p> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>EDWARDS, TE (7 January 2015).
