Notable
A half-body hyper-realistic bionic robot whose head has 32 active + 8 passive DoF (40 total) and platinum-silicone skin replicating 200+ micro-expressions for social interaction in reception, elder-care, and education. Body/locomotion specs are not published.
Specifications
Evidence is attached to each value. Robot-wide source links do not verify every field. A source about an older value cannot support the current specification.
