Flexibility is the Key to a Good “Workout,” for Human-Resembling Robots

"Are robots edging closer to being 'alive'? Scientists create droids that SWEAT just like humans while doing press-ups to keep themselves cool"Engineers in Japan have constructed two humanoids that successfully replicate human-like movement during physical activity. The robots, named Kengoro and Kenshiro, can perform multiple push-ups, crunches, stretches and other whole-body exercises – feats not possible for earlier versions of human-mimicking bots to perform. Kengoro and Kenshiro’s developers say the humanoids may help researchers better understand how humans move during athletic sports, aid in the development of artificial limbs and whole bodies, and advance the design of crash-test dummies.
Researchers built two models of the humanoids called Kengoro and Kenshiro
Experts recreated the intricacies of the human skeleton and surrounding tissue
The pair have rib cages, flexible spines as well as synthetic ligaments and joints
The result is machines that can perform a range of complex life-like movements
