Human Robotics

humaN48 - advanced intelligent robotics

The humaN48 bears little resemblance to the fictional robots once associated with artificial intelligence.

nanoFlowcell has applied its advanced, self-learning algorithms and AI capabilities—once exclusive to research and development—to create socially intelligent machines. Through nanoFlowcell's artificial intelligence, n-AI, robots are designed to engage naturally, allowing seamless interaction with humans.

Historically, robots have only simulated aspects of human life. nanoFlowcell's approach with humanoid AI focuses on integrating higher-level cognitive abilities, enabling robots to interact and respond with human-like authenticity. The humaN48 robotics project marks a significant advancement in humanoid robotics, setting a new standard by surpassing traditional human cognitive functions.

Human Robotic

humaN48 powered by nanoFlowcell®

Integrating a nanoFlowcell® energy system into humaN48 enables autonomous applications with a self-refueling capability, ensuring continuous 24/7 operation. This advancement is particularly beneficial for safety-critical applications, where robots greatly benefit from our low-voltage flow cell technology and the exceptional performance nanoFlowcell® provides.

humaN48 - Human robot

Foundation of Advanced Humanoid Robotics

Building on 30 years of groundwork, the humaN48 robotics project integrates NFC's advanced deep learning tools and machine learning technologies with cutting-edge expert systems, natural language processing, adaptive mimicry, movement control, and multimodal cognitive software. This combination of technologies forms a foundation for sophisticated humanoid interaction and responsiveness.

Lifelike motion through precision engineering

humaN48’s lifelike motion is made possible by over 1,500 microprocessors, which power its advanced machine perception and inverse kinematics systems. Optimized movement programming, together with hydropneumatic motion control, allows humaN48 to achieve up to 95 percent realism in its movements, closely mimicking human physicality.

Embodiment as a Gateway to Human-Like Cognition

While artificial intelligence doesn’t inherently require a body—much less a lifelike one—to function, creating a robot that genuinely understands and relates to humans necessitates a human-like embodiment. For humaN48 to effectively engage with human cognition, emotion, socialization, perception, and movement, it must experience these attributes in a tangible form.

Designing humaN48 for Human-Like Interaction

Our approach with humaN48 centers on providing it with a human-like shell, fostering natural interactions and encouraging people to engage with it as they would with another person. This design bridges the gap between human and machine, positioning humaN48 as more than just a robot and enabling it to interact meaningfully within human social contexts.

Our research goal with humaN48 is to create a humanoid robot that intuitively understands everyday situations, demonstrates empathy, and possesses a profound awareness of human experiences.
