Humanoid robots: iCub

Since September 2009, one of the 6 existing iCubs in Europe is a permanent resident of the group SPECS at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain.

iCub is a sophisticated robot believed to be the most advanced humanoid robot in Europe. iCub has the looks of a three-year-old child and is able to make human-like eye and head movements and recognize faces and grasp objects.
