  7. Abstract:
  8. Nowadays, regarding the rapid growth of technology, needs for manufacturing different productions has been increased. In this situation, it is very important to train and supervise technicians in machine shops. This supervision can play a key role in semi-automated factories and assembling lines. As we know, most of the machine shops and factories have been designed to be appropriate for human; therefore, using a humanoid robot with similar dimensions to an adult and with the ability to supervise, teach and interact with people, seems to be very useful. Such robot can interact and teach different things to people while moving around factories. Also it can supervise and warn any problem in an assembly line to operator or manager of the factory by equipping different non-destructive testing systems. There are lots of researches on social robots and supervising robots separately, but to the best of our knowledge, none of the previous published papers have used NDT sensors on social robots. This robot can reduce the cost of teaching inexperienced technicians as well as increases the safety level of a company, simultaneously. In this thesis, the design and fabrication procedures of “Arash” Robot have been described. For this goal first, we developed a social robot with the ability to move around factories and interact with people, then we worked on the ability to add sensors for non-destructive testing
