The model is designed to allow long-term improvement, without significant changes in the original concept.
The base model offers a sufficient number of degrees of freedom, that can be reduced or increased depending on the specific needs without leading to significant changes in design and therefore no additional investment.
The proposed design has a pleasant and attractive appearance, which makes it suitable for communication. It has a soft, easily compressible surface, resembling human flesh. The metal and the hard surfaces are kept to a minimum. The clean mechanical units and details are hidden in the structure itself and do not hinder the user to perform a complete contact with the humanoid.
This advanced design allows the model to be fully protected from dust, water and other contaminants.
One of the major advantages of the proposed design is its manufacturability due to the use of clean and straight lines combined with circles or parts of circles. Any complex curves and ellipses are avoided.
