mini · 10-29-2005, 10:52 PM

The Manufacturing & Mechatronics Lab of Seoul National University led by Prof. Young-Bong Bang unveiled MUSA, a robot made for the practice of Kendo, or Japanese fencing after one and a half year of development.

MUSA is 163cm tall and weighs 70kg, moving like human beings to be a partner for Kendo practitioners.
It can measure the amount of power put on its bamboo sword and defend attacks read by embedded sensors. People can practice the same attack and defense in several patterns and levels.

However, you don¡¯t have to be worried about injury during practice with your robot partner, as it would not touch you. The team headed by Prof. Bang aims to develop a Kendo robot practicing the third dan (grade) level.
