Still Waters Posted December 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Scientists have revealed an ambitious plan to create a humanoid helper robot with artificial muscles - in just nine months. Engineers at the University of Zurich's Artificial Intelligence Lab hope that 1.2m tall Roboy, designed to look like a child, will eventually help the sick and elderly by acting as a mechanical helper. To help the robot move, the team are developing radical artificial 'tendons'. http://www.dailymail...yday-tasks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
