Freakishly Human Automatons - Skeletal ECCEROBOT Moves Just Like Humans (VIDEO)
Skeletal ECCEROBOT Moves Just Like Humans
 Published: Sep 21, 09

A team of scientists from five european countries are rapidly changing science fiction into science fact. Their mission: To design the first anthropomimetic (what a mouthful) robot. ECCEROBOT (Embodied Cognition in a Compliantly Engineered Robot) is one of the latest creations made to mimic human movement.

ECCEROBOT utilizes plastic bones, kite line and elastics to realistically imitate human tissues, but it doesn’t stop there. This freakishly anatomical machine is being designed to cognitively interact with its environment. An endeavor that would make science fiction guru Issac Asimov proud.

YOU may have more in common with this robot than any other - it was designed using your anatomy as a blueprint. (newscientist)
