STANDBY MODE OF A HUMANOID ROBOT There is disclosed a computer-implemented method of executing a standby mode for a robot, comprising the steps of measuring one or more parameters associated with one or more parts of the robot (e.g. the temperature of one or more motors); receiving one or more standby optimization rules associated with said parameters ( e.g. maximizing the dissipation of the heat of the motor), and executing one or more received standby optimization rules (e.g. executing a body animation to cool down motors). The monitored parameters comprise motor temperature measures and/or energy consumption values and/or values quantifying signs of wear. Optimization rules comprise the minimization of the consumption of energy and/or the minimization of wear and/or the maximization of the dissipation of the heat. In developments, a predefined animation can be associated a valuable social engagement score. Further aspects are disclosed, including the optional use of accessories. System aspects and computer programs are described.
