ECCE is a humanoid robot with a replicated human structure.
Researchers went even further with this one-eyed (a video camera) robot and made the bust of the robot look and move just like a human's bust.
The
anthropomimetic robot liberates the barriers found with the robotic metallic structures of humanoids by creating
replicas of human bones, tendons, muscles and joints as well as the associated mechanism.
Thus, the prototype can move with just as much freedom as a human. To have fluid movements that resemble those of a human being, the false bony structures are simply connected together.
Watch an example of its clasped hands in the video below.
