Robot One’s design was inspired by the famous transformer robot from the eponymous film.
According to the team leader Luu Tuan Anh, this model composes of two main parts including the power system and the actuator within a solid steel frame so it can move the hands and produce sounds.
In terms of a power system, the robot could operate by pre-programing, remote control or automatically.
