Robot with bones that move like you do

Not only is Japan making new improvement in their robot technology, researchers from various European countries have invented a robot with bones that move like you do. Their project, the Eccerobot, has been designed to duplicate the way human bones, muscles and tendons work and are linked together. The plastic bones copy biological shapes and are moved by kite-line that is tough like tendons, while elastic cords mimic the bounce of muscle. As this is only in their early stage of design, they are confident to make the robot to interacts with theĀ  environment in a more human manner.
