Tron-X Country: Germany Manufacturer: Festo Year: 2004 Degrees of Freedom: 200 Webpage Info

The giant blue skinned servo-pneumatic robot Tron-X was developed by the German company Festo to demonstrate their mastery of air powered machines. Its 200 carefully calibrated cylinders grant it human like movement and facial expressions.

Tron-X was on display at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation station during the CeBIT 2006 in Hanover, Germany. In its presentation it demonstrated its ability to analyze human gestures using 3-D camera sensors and then accurately reproduce them, effectively mimicking people standing in front of it like a carnival trick mirror.
