The people of ATR and Vstone have their hands in dough on qalche droid robots similar to humans or to be put on the market for wealthy eccentric, so it will surprise you to know that the next building is ready, and called Robovie R3, a humanoid robot.
Designed primarily to assist in research involving elderly or disabled, R3 is apparently to “size”, and has 11 touch sensors all over his body, along with a pair of USB cameras for eyes, two microphones and a speaker, a maximum speed of 2.5 km / h and an optional laser thermometer to measure temperature. It is also skillful in omni-directional movement and to overcome small changes in floor height, and able to lend a hand with its “hands gripping.”
This bot in particular will be made available to various institutions working with robots, and the price is definitely not consumer friendly ¥ 3,800,000 (or just over $ 41,000).
