“Robotics engineers say that they can build a humanoid robot ‘boy’ that will help with everyday tasks within nine months. The childlike ‘Roboy’ will have special artificial muscles and tendons, and is designed as a companion and helper for sick and elderly patients. A team at the University of Zurich’s Artificial Intelligence Lab, headed by professor Rolf Pfeifer, has enlisted up 15 project partners and more than 40 engineers in the creation of what they hope will be the most advanced humanoid robot ever built. Pfeifer said that the team hope Roboy will be a model for ‘service robots’ that work alongside humans.”
