A group of Japanese scientists, researchers and engineers have created a humanoid robot with a correct musculoskeletal body named Kengoro. The robot’s size and actual mass match that of a human being. While humanoid robots aren’t exactly new, Kengoro has an interesting quirk: sweating.

A Bionic Arm That Pushes the Boundaries of Imagination

The University of Tokyo team behind Kengoro published their results in Science Robotics—along with a rationale for the sweat. The liquid emission aspect came about as a way to bypass the overheating robots usually face. Holes were drilled in Kengoro’s aluminum body, enabling water to move along the robot as it got busy. In the case of the video below, the robot sweats while performing an impressive variety of exercises. (Though some of its form could use some work.)

The scientists who built Kengoro believe the robot and others like it can be used to better understand human movement. In turn, they’ll be utilized to create things like better crash test dummies and even artificial human limbs. Read the entire article here.
