Anthropomorphic robotics

Welcome to the Anthropomorphic Robotics research/learning project.

Goals

The goals of this project are to learn about systems that could possibly be integrated into an anthropomorphic electromechanical system - a robot.

This project will also explore what research currently has been done in this field and where it might go.
