Affetto moves flexibly thanks to 22 pneumatic actuators in its body (3 for neck, 7 for each arm, 1 for chest, and 4 for waist).
Researchers at Osaka University in Japan have built a prototype of a robotic baby, named Affetto.
The researchers aim to learn more about higher cognitive functions in humans by studying people’s interactions with their infantile android.
