Mahru 2 Unveiled
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Science
Mahru 2 bows, greets you, dances, turns, and walks at a rate of 1.0 km/h. He has voice, obstacle, face, and moving object recognition. The bot is a joint venture of Dr. Bum-Jae You from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Dr. Kyung Shik Roh of Samsung. Mahru and sister Ahra are network-based intelligence utilizing a network infrastructure. Upgraded from Mahru 1 and expected out in 2009, we’re thinking of giving our Mahru 2 a vacuum cleaner as a companion.
