Kiyomori
Boasting of 14 degrees of freedom in its legs alone, Kiyomori is a proud representation of the aspiration to continue enhancing robotics technology. This humanoid robot was created in 2005 by tmsuk as a response to the request of the Uchida Yoko Co. of Japan to produce a robot for exhibition at the Niigata Hall of Natural Sciences.
Kiyomori executes a wide range of natural-looking actions, due to its amazing 39 joints within its frame. This results in almost human-like walking abilities. It can be controlled by a remote, allowing it to be sent into situations that would be dangerous for humans.
Its fully stretched legs are a realization of the pelvic motion of humans, utilizing two degrees of freedom as humans do. All of these were made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Atsuo Takanishi Laboratory of Waseda University.
Kiyomori is regarded as an answer to the problems associated with the performance of dangerous human tasks. The complex technologies and software used within this bipedal robot are the reasons why it is also suitable for tasks that humans cannot do.
