Photos: Robots learn how to get friendly with humans

Are we human or are we robot?

The Elumotion team designed and built the hands, limbs and body of Berti to mirror nature. Elumotion co-founder, Craig Fletcher, told silicon.com it's the most complex control system the company has developed.

The specially designed hands (above) can move in several different ways - its thumb can move separately from the fingers, for example - which together with the arm can accurately portray the movements of a human being.
