Iron Man in Real Life? Meet the First Flying Humanoid Robot

When we think of robots, we generally think of industrial robots in factories, putting hard labor to complete tasks that humans cannot. But robots are not just science fiction movies anymore. The humanoid robot Sophia is considered in such high regard that Saudi Arabia provided citizenship to her. Robots that are integrated with technologies like artificial intelligence, cybernetics, cognitive development, and neuroscience can perform multiple tasks at the same time, like plan, think, work, analyze, walk, and now, apparently fly. Researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology have recently been exploring the possibilities of creating a humanoid robot that can fly.
