Robots have muscles like humans

Inadequate human manipulation, scientists in Japan decided to find ways to make the movements of natural robots look like humans.

It is true that the technology of making robots and artificial intelligence is now on a strong development. From the revolutionary ability to keep balance to the ability to "learn" Deep Learning. Robots are becoming more and more "like people" so that they can be integrated into people's daily lives soon.

But no matter how much it grows, if the robot's movement relies only on pneumatic piston mechanisms and bulky servo motors, the robot will forever look just like hard machines.

Robot Atlas calf barrels are also good.But no matter how many boxes of veal can be made, no one will mistake Atlas for a human.

Aiming to create a "human-like" robot, the team at the Suzumori Endo Robotics Laboratory at the Tokyo Institute of Technology has taken a step further in creating a human body simulation device.

Specifically, the team created a human skeleton and artificial muscular system. Like "real goods" , muscular systems expand when responding to electric current. In this way, the brain that controls it can stimulate different muscle groups freely to create complex movements similar to the human body.

Assigning a complete skull is really "because of science", or just a joke before the annexing warnings of robots in the future .

Going beyond simple simulations, the team created the same number of muscles on the artificial skeleton as the human body muscles used when walking.

It is true, but in the current development stage of Suzumori Endo, true walking is still unthinkable without the support that comes with it. Despite its design and fabrication, the technology behind the muscular simulation system is still in its infancy, its rate of movement is still too slow to react and keep weight. equal.

Robot uses human-like artificial muscle system at Suzumori Endo institute.

However, the technologies developed and simulated parts of the human body are probably the fastest way to create a truly human-like robot generation. Following this momentum, the interesting situation encountered in Ex Machina may no longer be completely unrealistic.
