Meet robot Myon. He is the latest in a long line of robots that are breaking new ground when it comes to [artificial intelligence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineai-robotics).

This little guy features a high-tech shell with thermoformed properties and he only has one eye. Robot Myon has been a labor of love for the folks at [Studio Frackenpohl Poulheim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seeed-studio-reterminal-sticky) and the Neurorobotics Research Laboratory at the Humboldt-Universität zu in Berlin, who have spent years perfecting his [fine motor skills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanoid-robotics-ai).
