Kenshiro humanoid: A robot with a skeleton aluminum

Kenshiro is a humanoid that is composed of a skeleton made ​​of aluminum. This Japanese robot has been realized with the dimensions of a 12 year old child. It is equipped with muscles reproducing those of a human.

Kenshiro almost looks like a 12 year old boy at his composition. So far this humanoid 158 cm and weighs 50 kg. His face again like a child, but the bones were replaced by an aluminum frame. Scientists from the University of Tokyo experience even pushed a little further including providing the robot 160 muscles via mechanisms. 22 were positioned at the neck, shoulders 12, 50 and 76 in the legs to the trunk. The result is quite impressive and the researchers conducted a small demonstration was filmed.


Fluid motion

Scientists have a clear objective to propose a robot that is closest to the human body. Kenshiro project began in 2010, two years researchers have made significant progress since the robot has been equipped with more muscles and several engines were also added. Certainly, the humanoid approximates the skeleton of a human, but it does not yet have a brain. This prototype is still progress to be made, because it has only 160 to 160 corresponding mechanisms muscles, you should know that man has 639 muscles, Kenshiro is still far from being a dead ringer for humans.
Scientists stand with Kenshiro, because spam usually offer jerky movements. The University of Tokyo is smooth and reproduces the movements of men. For this capability, the researchers were able to adjust the speed of Kenshiro to assign human functions. Kenshiro should not land in stores, according to scientists this project is scientific and they would not intend to develop mass. This humanoid carries us so in some movies like Star Wars C-3PO with or iRobot
