A humanoid robot is one that has a human shape, ie a head with two 'eyes', a 'nose' and 'mouth, and on a neck, and two arms, a torso, and two legs.

It's usually made of metal or metal and plastic. However there are ones that can look entirely human; these would have mechanical and electronic workings underneath but realistic looking human skin and hair and features over this. They are often very attractive.

The best examples are the sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov's robots who are, in my estimation, dead sexy! He called the really human looking ones 'humaniforms' and they were usually real lookers too. Plus being intelligent and like humans in their personalities and voices and mobility etc. Only regret is they're about 1000 years into the future.....
