Sony's QRIO Robots with a third eye

Robots have not been able to do anything like humans, however, the final version of Sony's Robotics has a very interesting theme: the third eye.

QRIO - Robot of Sony; Height 23 inches (58 cm); Weight 16.5 pounds (7.5 kg)

Equipped with an observation camera at the location of the third eye (like the Deng Xiaoguan in Journey to the West of Wu Cheng), QRIO - the name of the robot - can see many people the same. and focus on one of them. Unlike the gods, QRIO uses a third eye to record other events that occur around you. In addition, QRIO itself also has a great flexibility in manipulation.

At a ginza demonstration on Ginza Friday, QRIO walked hilariously towards the other side, walking and swinging to the music. QRIO has demonstrated its flexibility, flexibility by shaking its fingers and curving its arms while dancing to music. Soon, the QRIO faced the crowd of women and responded to the person who waved to it.

In addition, QRIO also demonstrates its ability to recognize objects through size and color. QRIO cleverly took his hand to pick up an object that was required. Before he did, he said to himself, 'I do not know if I can lift it up .' But he also completed the task.

Sony plans to ship this new robot in March next year.

Robots are becoming more and more like humans thanks to advances in materials technology and information technology. The combination of these two promises on a day not far, we will have real 'machine' friends.
