Roboy is a humanoid Robot that came to being through crowd funding! He is built to replicate the human form factor he doesn't have motors as muscles but springs. One of Roboy's creators gives us the run down on this robot.

The springs give Roboy's movements fluidity, which is different than the sometimes stiff movements in other robots.

The Myorobotics modular robotics toolkit was developed as open hardware in the Myorobotics FP7 EU-project and is now further developed by GI among others. With its anthropomimetic behavior and human-like dynamics it is predestined to be used in tele-operation scenarios. By combining this robotics hardware with recently made available room-scale virtual reality headsets (HTC Vive) and augmented reality solutions (Microsoft HoloLens, Meta Meta2), GI can deliver a unique teleoperation experience, yielding superior handling results over current solutions.

In this Video we show results of our voucher project »Myoremote«, which occurred as part of EU-funded project ROBOTT-NET for the start-up General Interfaces and their ROBOY. Project partner in this three month work was besides Fraunhofer IPA in Stuttgart the British Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry.

Roboy Skill Machine is a tool that makes controlling and starting Roboy much easier. We have consolidated some of Roboy’s skills, such as User Tracking, State Tracking (Status of Roboy’s motors) & Face Recognition in a web-based user friendly environment. Skill Machine is written in Python and uses ROS Kinetic, along with bond functionality. The front-end is developed using Node-RED.
Once you have Skill Machine running on Roboy, you can control Roboy and see it’s motors status using a browser on any device connected to the same network as Roboy.

Roboy 3.0, the next step in Roboyan evolution!
Coming soon – a new muscle designed to enable active cooling. In this video, you can see the assembly of legs with its 22 motors. The ankle is designed to move just like a human one. Roboy's new legs will be capable of sitting, standing, and static walking. Their embedded design allows fast or powerful motion with new muscle units in a modular design.

Founded by robotics pioneer Rafael Hostettler, Devanthro’s vision is to build robodies as agile, dexterous and elegant as the human body, but without its fragility – so that one day, we can live as these robodies and stay curious indefinitely.

Introducing the Roboies: Remote robotic body that allows a person to physically experience a remote place: see, talk, move, interact and manipulate objects through a robotic body.
