Abstract :
We have been promoting a project of musculoskeletal humanoids. The project aims at the long-term goal of human-symbiotic robots as well as the mid-term goal of necessary design and control concepts for musculoskeletal robots. This paper presents the concepts and aim of the project and also shows the outline of our latest results about development of new musculoskeletal humanoid Kojiro, which is the succeeding version of our previous Kotaro.
