South African students and lecturers from the Department of Electronics at Stellenbosch University are working on a unique remote-controlled humanoid robot. It is able to reproduce human movements thanks to a system of inverse kinematics. Equipped with a webcam and advanced software, the humanoid interacts with the environment as if it were being controlled directly by an operator. Currently, the robot has a functional torso and a working right arm, while the left arm is in the final stages of development. Using a webcam, it tracks human movements and reproduces them in real time. The robot is based on an EtherCAT system, which is used in complex engineering tasks such as controlling particle gas pedals. A team of students is now working on creating legs for the humanoid so it can walk. The actuators for the limbs as well as the robotic grippers are being tested in a virtual environment using Nvidia's IsaacSim platform
