Youbionic, an Italian technology startup using additive manufacturing to create an augmented humanoid, has created a mechanical centaur with the help of Boston Dynamics’ Spot Mini robot. Federico Ciccarese, Founder of Youbionic, developed the Youbionic One assistive device based on its 3D printed arm attachments. The device now features a pair of arm, a robotic spine and the top section of a ribcage.

“In the last months I have worked on the design of the Humanoid,” Ciccarese told 3D Printing Industry. “I have dealt with the improvement of the movements of the hands, [and] continued to develop arms that could move just like human arms. [This] led to a revolutionary robotic backbone that flexes in 2 senses very smoothly.”
