When muscles are used, heat is generated as a by-product of their operation. When we really exert ourselves, the body cools down by sweating. Sweating removes water from the body, and when the water evaporates, it cools us down. By evaporating, sweat removes a lot of heat from the body and thus participates in the regulation of body temperature. Robots, especially dynamic ones like the humanoid Kengoro, also generate a lot of heat due to their many motors and electronics, which is often the main problem of technological devices, as they tend to overheat, which reduces their capabilities. At Kengoro, the engineers have solved this so that if the robot is working at full steam and producing a lot of heat, the robot will 'heat' and thus dissipate the excess heat and consequently not overheat, so it can also do push-ups and do them as a joke more than you!
A kangaroo it is a humanoid robot. But it is not a normal robot, as far as a robot can even be normal nowadays, because 'Switzerland' or sweats when the motorbikes generate a lot of heat. By draining the water, the engineers solved the problem overheating problem machine. Cooling is one of the main challenges for many powerful technological devices.

Kengoro is exceptional flexible, durable and in excellent condition, because for the sake of innovative cooling of a calm soul he can do a series of push-ups, although most of the over a hundred engines, which make it up and allow it all kinds of movements.
These engines do generate a lot of heat, but thanks to a cooling method that mimics the natural way the human body cools, the Kengoro can he does push-ups for 11 minutes straight , without overheating. You can see how it behaves in practice in the attached clip. Would you be a match for him in a push-up battle?
