A 500-watt electric pump serves as the robot's "heart," pushing fluid at 40 standard liters per minute.

As usual, when you read the article you stumble upon a gigantic technical hurdle. ๐Ÿ˜•

EDIT: And I'm not against the technology. I'm all for prosthetics and humanoid robots for menial work.

Just imagine the possibilities if full human-pike prosthetics are developed. Think of people who have lost their arms or legs, suddenly being able to walk again.

(And of course, applied robotics for sex bots ๐Ÿ˜‰)
