Myon – character facets of a humanoid robot

Prof. Dr. Manfred Hild
Berlin 2015 | Thursday, 21 May 2015 | 20:00 | Hall | German

This presentation will look at the development of the robot Myon and the design decisions that were involved in its creation. The issues will be examined from a variety of standpoints, from the design of the exterior appearance to aspects of the behavioural controls.
