Description For more life-like robot video clips, information and photo, please visit ROBORAMA.info - The bio-mimetic control research center of RIKEN is promoting basic research on the flexible and dynamic motor functions of biological systems. The goal is to create advanced engineering systems such as a soft human interactive robot. The robot developed here is named RI-MAN. RI-MAN exhibits the skill and ability to realize human care and welfare tasks. RI-MAN will become an invaluable partner robot.
