The first-ever anthropomimetic robot was developed for the main purpose of investigating machine consciousness through internal modeling.
Anthropomimetic is the science of developing bio-medically engineered robot that mimics the physiological and behavioral systems of humans. If humanoids are made to copy the human form, anthropomimetic copies the inner structures and mechanisms such as bones, joints, muscles, and tendons
The first anthropomimetic robot, ECCEROBOT is a three-year project funded by the 7th framework programme of the EU. This project is a spin-off of the CRONOS1 project conducted at the University of Essex.
ECCEROBOT stands for “Embodied Cognition in a Compliantly Engineered Robot”. Interestingly, the robot's anatomy is designed to mimic the human body systems.
The robot's skeleton is a very detailed replicate of the human model, consisting of bones and joints formed out of thermoplastic polymorph (a caprolactone polymer) which when heated to only 60°C it softens and can be freely hand molded several times. It has a distinctive bone-like appearance when cold and can be reheated and remoulded as many times as necessary.
ECCEROBOT's subsystems include the actuator, sensor and the behavioral subsystems.

Very interesting and informational article.
it is very informative.And it is very nice
Eccerobot is fanastic robot its features are nice
This is a nice article.I like it.This article is give me us good information about Meet ECCEROBOT, the First Anthropomimetic Robot.So i really impress this article,when i was seeing this article.
ECCEROBOT, the first anthropomimetic robot, is a novel idea. This is going to help those who have lost their organs. It may find many more useful uses in future. Glad to learn about anthropomimetic robot.
Thanks, very informative article. I find this topic very thought provoking, wondering just how close to human a “machine can become.
it is a very interesting article about the ECCEROBOT.
Hi William,
thanks for the informative article, i’m doing my final year graduate degree. i’m interested in AI. your article attracts me. it inspired me to improve my interests in AI.
Thanks and Regards,
