About the Roboy 2.0

Roboy 2.0 is a tendon-driven musculoskeletal humanoid robot developed by the TU Munich Roboy student team (the group that became Devanthro GmbH, "The Roboy Company," in May 2018). Unveiled at Hannover Messe in April 2018, it used a custom FPGA controller for high-speed, low-latency control and was demonstrated riding and autonomously steering a tricycle, recognizing people, and holding simple conversations — serving as a key research step toward Roboy 3.0 and Devanthro's later "Robody" elder-care robots.

Typical applications: Research & Development, Education & Training.
