Manufacture of robots containing artificial musculoskeletal systems

Researchers at the University of Tokyo's Robotics Research Division at JSK have developed the Kojiro robot, which can move in a surprisingly fluid motion.

The difference between Kojio and other robots is that Kojio contains a complex system of muscles, bones and ligaments, just like the human body.

This super-efficient artificial system helps Kojio move more organically.

More than 100 Kojio's muscular structures and ligaments produce 60 degrees of movement, making it more flexible than any other robot, including the Asimo.

Designers are striving to create an interactive human learning program that will make small movements of the Kojio complete, thereby helping the robot perform more complex movements. ./.
