Not Quite Robo-cop…errr… I mean Robo-kid
Created by researchers at the University of Tokyo, Kenshiro is a “musculoskeletal” humanoid robot that simulates the body of a 12-year-old child, complete with artificial muscles and skeletal structures. The robot features aluminum bones and 160 artificial muscles in its neck, shoulders, trunk, and legs, all with the ability to expand and contract, essentially mimicking the natural movements and positional stresses of a real human body.
Kenshiro doesn’t yet have the ability to match the true speed and precision of a human, but the accuracy of the robot’s construction could ultimately go a long way towards helping us to learn more about how the human body functions.
