Now, he’s building robots that imitate the building principles of the human musculoskeletal system and travels the world with Roboy.

About the company: Roboy project's goal is to advance humanoid robotics to the state where its robots are just as good as a human body. The human body is a marvel from a robotics perspective: it’s agile, strong, soft, dynamic, self-repairing, self-building and completely silent in operation.
