Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have developed a bipedal robot that can react with human-like reflexes via a unique balance-feedback interface. 
The interface is connected to researcher, Joao Ramos, Ph.D. student of MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, using an exoskeleton of wires and motors.
