Robot homework help

Japanese engineers have added a robot named SmartPal V, to help people do housework.

Cotton animals were thrown in a room at the robotics exhibition in Kitakyushu, Japan. After that, engineers from Yasakawa Electric Group started releasing " SmartPal V " kids . These robots quickly pick up toys, tidy the shelves, then start vacuuming, cleaning the floor.

SmartPal V is not a new robot. It was designed in November last year and has been the fifth generation. However, it has only recently been introduced to the public. The SmartPal V is designed to help people do hard work in the home. Especially for Japan - a country with a low birth rate, many elderly people - is very significant. SmartPal V will improve the quality of life for cherry blossoms.

The arm of the SmartPal V can lift a weight of 2 kg, whose joints are quite soft. Like many other robots, the SmartPal V moves on top of the wheel at a top speed of 3.6 km / h. He listened with a microphone and looked at the camera. The robot body has sensors to determine the distance between objects to act correctly.

Yasakawa Electric does not hide the ambition to design robots that can replace people working in factories.
