iCub: Crawling Robot Baby

iCub enjoys the view of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge during a break from his demos at the 2011 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.

Now a day, Researchers build Robot babies to investigate human cognition, language acquisition, and motor development. Some Japanese researchers even say robot babies could help introduce young people to the wonders of parenthood and boost birth rates.


As far as robot babies go, iCub is the latest one. iCub designed to emulate the way a human child learns, was recently seen showing off its new, improved crawling skills on the convention floor at the IROS robotics conference in San Francisco. Aside from learning to crawl, iCub is all about exploring how human cognition develops, using facial expressions and adaptive learning techniques. The idea is that iCub can learn in the same way a child would.
