Overview
Cog was a humanoid robot designed by Rodney Brooks's group at MIT as a platform to study robot cognition. It could track faces, grasp objects, and play with a Slinky. The robot featured two arms, a head, and advanced sensors including dual cameras in each eye, inertial systems, load cells, and tactile sensors. It was one of the first humanoid robots to use series elastic actuators for safer human interaction.
