Humanoid Robot Mahru Mimics a Person’s Movements in Real Time
An operator wearing a sensor suit can control this robot’s arm and leg movements.
Mahru, an advanced biped humanoid developed by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Samsung Electronics, has a bunch of skills. Mahru knows its way around a kitchen, popping a snack into the microwave and bringing it to you, as KIST researchers demonstrated when they unveiled the robot’s latest version, Mahru Z, early this year. Mahru can also dance and perform Taekwondo moves.
