A robot called Berti - or Bristol Elumotion Robotic Torso 1 to you - was on display at London's Science Museum last month, where it showed off its numerous human-like gestures.

The robot has been jointly developed by Bristol Robotics Lab and robotic hardware developer Elumotion, after the former decided it wanted to get more involved with humanoid robotics.

The specially designed hands (above) can move in several different ways - its thumb can move separately from the fingers, for example - which together with the arm can accurately portray the movements of a human being.

Get to grips with more pics of the human-like robot here.
