Albert Hubo robot has many faces
Posted on May 23, 07 07:09 PM PDT
A KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) team has showcased their Albert Hubo robot that comes with the great Nobel Prize winner's face, Albert Einstein. Standing proud at 137cm tall and weighing 57kg, the Albert Hubo robot features artificial skin and can make a multitude of facial expressions while displaying human-like emotions, thanks to the 31 hidden motors located underneath the lifelike synthetic skin. The Albert Hubo's body also boasts 66 joints that enable it to walk with a natural gait as well as performing dances. I don't think it is as advanced as the Honda Asimo though, but to put a face on a robot lends a nice personal touch.
