First ever robot that corrects its mistakes

The world’s first ever robot with ‘muscles’, ‘tendons’ and ‘bones’ is here. Dailymail reports that the robot looks like a stripped-down version of the Star Wars character C-3PO.



One of the most advanced robots in the world, Ecci, is made up of a specially developed plastic. The robot even has a brain that enables correction of mistakes.

A team of scientists at the University of Zurich developed Ecci – short for Eccerobot. ‘Ecce’ means Lo or Behold in Latin. A series of electric motors helps the robot to move its joints. A computer installed inside the brain of Ecci helps it learn from its mistakes.
