The latest version of Robo-C, developed with advanced capabilities, can now perform movements in 12 degrees of freedom.
It took four months to incorporate these enhancements, and each arm is powered by eight electric motors that can handle up to 1 kg of weight. Robo-C can grasp objects, point in specific directions, or even shake hands.
Command execution is facilitated through scripts created with specialized software developed by the engineers. The robot operates in three modes: basic gesturing for communication, responding to external commands (such as waving), and responding to commands from a developer.
Future updates aim to teach the robot to write in various languages and even draw, according to Promobot’s development director.
The new model’s dynamic stabilization systems, servo drives, and arm controllers will also serve as the foundation for Robo-C’s upcoming leg development, which is already in progress.
Like its predecessor, Robo-C can replicate human emotions, including moving its eyes, eyebrows, lips, and other facial muscles. It can engage in conversations and answer questions while mimicking over 600 human micro-expressions, offering a highly realistic simulation of human behavior.
The development of the updated Robo-C took eight months, and these new humanoid robots are set to appear in shopping malls and museums soon.
