Wakamaru is a friendly helper robot that can carry on conversations with people, recognize faces, and shake hands. It's been used as a domestic assistant, office receptionist, event host, and sales rep.
Wakamaru is smart enough to call 911 (or the Japanese equivalent) if it suspects something is wrong. |
To test Wakamaru's safety, Mitsubishi performed collision tests between the robot and a child-size crash-test dummy. |
When speaking, Wakamaru uses hand gestures just as humans do. It also makes eye contact and can identify 10 different faces at a time. |
