Bulgarian android

A Bulgarian company, located in Sofia, is working on a full scale humanoid called Kibertron
The aim is to build an autonomous self-educating machine which also has motivation and purpose for its existence. The humanoid looks is 1.75m tall (5' 9") and weighs 90 Kg (200 pounds).

Its mechanics, developed by Ahmed Merchev, Antony Stavrev and Lyubomir Slavilov, features electronic and mechanic muscle that imitates the human muscle fibers, and thus has a contracted, semi-contracted and relaxed state.

The algorithm that runs the mechanical parts has been based on a biological approach, so that Kibertron can walk, bend over, and run.
Once developed, the software will be applicable to clones and the Kibertrons could be assigned to perform various tasks.
