I believe the answer is:

robot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'yet titular head' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'inhuman boor' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'boor' is 'robo' which is within the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'perhaps' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
