Remember when people thought that by the year 2000 we’d have a cure for cancer, hover cars and sexy maid robots? Well, we might be close to the last one, if you drop the sexy.
The robot, cleverly named ‘Assistant Robot,’ can mop up, do laundry and clean up your filthy kitchen. It has been made by Tokyo University’s Information and Robot Technology along with big companies like Toyota Corp, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, and of course, Sega.
The cool thing about the robot is that it has the ability to see three dimensional objects and to recognize when the job has not been done right, then go and correct the problem.
