Myon
A 1.25 m, about 16 kg modular humanoid built for the EU ALEAR language-evolution project, with 32 DoF driven by 48 actuators; each limb carries its own battery and processor, so arms, legs or even the head can be detached and reattached while it runs. It later starred, unscripted, in the Komische Oper Berlin production My Square Lady (2015).
