iCub è un cucciolo di robot alto 1,04 metri e con un peso di circa 25 kg nato da un team di ricercatori dell'Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) di Genova. Non solo dimostra di essere un maestro di Tai Chi ma viene impiegato come progetto di prostetica: la sua mano può rimpiazzare la mano di chi l'ha persa.
