Engineering students at Tehran University have designed a humanoid robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body. Walking with the help of infrared radiation and remote control, speaking in predicted sentences and, moving of head and hands were made possible for the robot during the first phase of the project. he Iranian robot, Surena will be able to take steps, climb stairs and later on, he will be programmed to hear and see objects. Surena is 1.6 meters tall and weighs around 60 kilograms. Surena (Sorena/Sourena) is named after the Great Parthian warrior who defeated the Romans at the Battle of Carrhae in the Iranian province of Maadaa (Medea/Media).

Iranian humanoid robot ‘Surena III’ developed by researchers at University of Tehran was unveiled today during a ceremony attended by Vice President for Science and Technology.
The third generation of Iranian humanoid robot dubbed ‘Surena ******??’ with a height of 190 Cm and a weight of 98 Kg enjoys remarkable improvements over its previous model. Surena III has 31 degrees of freedom, 9 degrees more than Surena II, including 12 at its legs, 16 at its hands, 2 at its head and 1 at its waist. Each leg of the robot has 6 degrees of freedom including 3 at its thighs, 1 at its knees and 2 at its wrists.
Surena III walks 3 Km/h faster than the previous model. It also has the ability to walk on uneven or sloping surfaces, as well as climb up and down stairs. Surena III can also drift and turn around within a desired radius.
The Iranian humanoid robot is also capable of interacting with its surroundings through visual and auditory senses. It can also speak based on predefined text, and enjoys the ability to recognize objects and has remote control.
Surena III can also detect human faces in motion and recognize body positions. It can hear and speak 200 words/sentences in Persian language.
The national project of humanoid robot Surena III has been conducted by Center for Advanced Systems and Technology (CAST) at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of University of Tehran. In addition to professors and students of University of Tehran, a number of elites from other universities and companies active in the field of robotics have also participated in the project.
According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Iran's manufacture of Surena makes it one of five countries in the world with the technology to make humanoid robots. Iran unveiled Surena I and Surena II in 2008 and 2010, respectively.
