Ecci Robot Features Bones, Ligaments And Muscles. Can Learn From His Mistakes.

Sci-fi geeks: Your savior has arrived. His name is “Ecci”, short for Eccerobot (Ecce in Latin means Lo or Behold). Ecci is being dubbed the world’s most technologically advanced robot thanks to a complex system of bones, ligaments and tendons all constructed from plastic and powered by small electric motors.

But even cooler than Ecci’s human-like body is ability to learn from his mistakes — the holy grail of robots. When Ecci makes a movement that causes him to fall or fails some other task, his brain analyzes the data to find an optimal solution that prevents him from repeating the same mistake.

Thanks to the scientists at the University of Zurich headed by director Rolf Pfeifer, human robotics just took a giant leap forward. Now how long do we have to wait until Ecci is capable of fixing us breakfast, eh guys?
