Key points from article :
German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) designed AILA in 2010.
AILA has been adapted to be controlled by CAPIO, its new passive exoskeleton system.
CAPIO uses 8 different contact points on a complex exoskeleton to manipulate AILA in real time.
Series of advanced sensors in its hands allow it to feel its way around the environment.
