non-human humanoid robot designs links ?

There have been telemanipulators early on that tried to fit the machine to the operator: two arms, two cameras.

Mobot from Hughes:

In Germany a similar system was Syntelmann. Prototype early 70ies controlled by crude exoskeleton: term plan: "astronaut" in space: by human from earth: mechanical part got complicated enough: to mention the lack of capable electronics & computers in those days.

The basic idea to model the telemanipulator to the operator is still viable, although there are hardly many such projects now.

This one below is what I am talking about! The Mobot ... not so much.

Thanks!

The prototype was always two cameras and two arms, the "artists impression" of about 1970 was long-term-&-unlimited-funding.

There is some recent research and literature

walking biped machines. BARt-UH ( about 2002 ) the prototype for JOHNNIE ( about 2003 ) at University Hannover, TU Munich. There is some "private research" too: Availability of cheap, compact, low-power accelerometers/gyros certainly does help. But i cannot see a similar breakthrough in the power-supply that would be necessary. The exoskeletons of the 50ies/60ies were roughly based on the assumption that anything down to the cigarette lighter would soon go nuclear anyway.
