Tokyo:
Scientists have developed a new humanoid robot that can perform exercises like
sit-ups and push-ups, and even sweat, just like humans.
The
robot has an artificial perspiration system and anatomically resembles the
musculoskeletal intricacy of a human boy.
Developed
by scientists at the University of Tokyo in Japan, the robot called Kengoro can
be used as crash test dummies, and to design muscle analytics for athletes and
sports.
The
team has been developing humanoid robots for several years now. Kengoro is the
most advanced iteration of a series that began in 2001 with a bot named Kenta,
'New Atlas' reported.
Its
most interesting development is the artificial perspiration system, according
to a study published in the journal Science Robotics.
The
system not only mimics the way human beings sweat, but also prevents
overheating of the robot by running water through its skeletal frame and
allowing steam to vent out of small outlets.
Kengoro
can execute a series of human-like movements resembling a tough exercise
workout, including push-ups and sit-ups.
