University of Granada scientists have built Sensopac, the first artificial cerebellum to help robots manipulate and interact with humans.

One possible use for the robots would be as home-helpers for disabled people. The next step for the Sensopac project will be to develop an artificial skin for the robots, making them look more human-like, and making them information-sensitive in the same way as human skin is.
