Developers at Japan’s Osaka University are building a child robot. The child robot has a biomimetic body. So thats awesome. Whats biomimetic you say. Glad you asked. Biomimetic is human-made processes, substances, devices, or systems that imitate nature. Want more info get as smart as me.

The child robot is named CB2 such as child squared. My freaky little buddy

Hey Mister, buy me a sixer?

sports 51 air actuators, 5 motors, and 197 tactile sensors. Also has freaky alien gray silicone suit that hides its innards. The little robot boy is 4 feet and 3 inches tall, and weights 73 pounds.

Am I the TOY?

The child has the capabilities of a 1-2 year old right now. They are focusing on getting the child to imitate facial expressions. The child can also walk with some human

help. I hope they hold his hand when crossing the street. Cause I will run this thing over. Thinking its an alien sent here to take over the world. As a side note, I break for E.T. I’m not heartless. Although children robots are.

CB2 is equipped with 51 air actuators, 5 motors, and 197 tactile sensors under its soft gray silicone skin. It measures about 4 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 73 pounds.

You sick bastard.

• “Robot Suit HAL” is a cyborg-type robot that can expand and improve physical capability.
  
• When a person attempts to move, nerve signals are sent from the brain to the muscles via motoneuron, moving the musculoskeletal system as a consequence. At this moment, very weak biosignals can be detected on the surface of the skin. “HAL” catches these signals through a sensor attached on the skin of the wearer. Based on the signals obtained, the power unit is controlled to move the joint unitedly with the wearer’s muscle movement, enabling to support the wearer’s daily activities. This is what we call a ‘voluntary control system’ that provides movement interpreting the wearer’s intention from the biosignals in advance of the actual movement. Not only a ‘voluntary control system’ “HAL” has, but also a ‘robotic autonomous control system’ that provides human-like movement based on a robotic system which integrally work together with the ‘autonomous control system’. “HAL” is the world’s first cyborg-type robot controlled by this unique Hybrid System.
• “HAL” is expected to be applied in various fields such as rehabilitation support and physical training support in medical field, ADL support for disabled people, heavy labour support at factories, and rescue support at disaster sites, as well as in the entertainment field.

HAL in sexy mode!

This thing seems to be the coolest thing since, well they made the stormtroopers customs available to the public.  Only if they came with helmets…

Even HAL prays to a robotic God.
