“Mahru-Z” robot maid move get like a human

The housework of a housekeeper is heavy work and many exhausters. Neither is clean a house, cloth washing and the cooking etc. But, in the future heavy tiredness from these works will disappear. Because, scientist get try development robot for support work continuously.

South Korean scientists have developed a walking robot maid which can clean a home, dump clothes in a washing machine and even heat food in a microwave.

The robot “Mahru-Z” or robot maid, there is the body is like a human at have the ability can move like human by can turn the head, turn an arm, turn a leg and have 6 fingers. Besides, robot can see 3-D vision at can observe the object, remember a person and work that receive to assign succeed. Neither will opening washing machine, open-close the microwave, hold the sandwich, coffee cup and other.

Mahru-Z takes time in robot development for 2 year, which is 1.3 metres tall and weighs 55 kilograms. It could also work with an earlier maid robot called Marhu-M which moves on wheels, since both can be remotely controlled through a computer server. But, for a robot Mahru-Z have upgraded be can copy the movement that is like a human

The inventor specifies that, unless be usable a housekeeper already, still can apply work at dangerous with a human. But, the production for greatly the business still must take time moderately again

Mahru-Z, build from the budget in the research a robot about 3.5 million dollars every year on robot research. It began receiving state funds for the project in 2006.
