Advanced humanoid robot comes to life

[Hum]

Meet Roboy, ?one of the most advanced humanoid robots,? say researchers at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Zurich. Over 40 engineers and scientists are constructing Roboy as a tendon-driven robot modeled on human beings (robots usually have their motors in their joints, giving them that ?robot? break-dance look), so it will move almost as elegantly as a human. Roboy will be a ?service robot,? meaning it will execute services independently for the convenience of human beings.

Dominik Brumm of the Artificial Lab of the University of Zuerich checks humanoid robot ROBOY during a media presentation in Zurich February 27, 2013. A project team, composed of scholars and industry representatives, has been working on ROBOY since June 2012. The team combines the latest discoveries from university research with the invaluable expertise of the industry sector to come up with the most state-of-the-art robotics technology.

Not bad, but Microsoft Research is a bit ahead of them. They were able to create a cyborg out of Steve Jobs remains.

It's almost laughable to say AI when referring to most of these robots. We are a long way away from Skynet, that's for sure.
