The Einstein robot you see here just creeps me out. It features a humanoid body and an android head of the great Nobel Prize winner himself, and was concocted by researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. An astronaut spacesuit was used in order to hide internal mechanical devices whilst giving both a scientific and robotic appearance simultaneously. that prototype has been dubbed “Einstein’s Return from Outer Space.” Each head and body

system are controlled by a different computer, but all of them are connected via an RS232 connection. The Albert HUBO has a maximum of 66 degrees of freedom, broken down into 35 for the body and 31 for the head. He is capable of walking, shaking hands, bowing and even do sign language.
