Hey everyone,
This week I wanted to share this article I found in the MIT Technology Review about Roboy: a robot with plastic "muscles".
Roboy is an attempt to create a robot that mimics human movement. Instead of the precise, calculated movements that are characteristic of traditional robots, Roboy moves in a very natural way since his design is based on the human body.
I thought that this article was interesting because Roboy seems like a really important step towards making androids like Rachel from Blade Runner a reality.
Here is the link to the article:
