Overview
Pneuborn is a robotic infant simulator that focuses on the development of musculoskeletal systems. It can teach itself to crawl, sit, and stand using pattern generators and learning algorithms. The robot is powered by pneumatic artificial muscles and is designed based on the structure of a real human infant, equipped with a robust pneumatic musculoskeletal system.
