Japan Science and Technology Agency along with Osaka University have jointly developed a child-like humanoid robot called CB2 (Child-Robot with Biomimetic Body). The robot has several compressed-air actuators that enable life-like motion, 200 tactile sensors built into its silicone skin and an artificial vocal cord that enables it to make childish sounds. The researchers are hoping to use CB2 to learn more about the learning and development process in infants.
