Korean housemaid robot can do household works at your home

Have you ever imagine a robot walking inside your house, going to your kitchen and doing your household chore with its robotic hand? Well you don’t have to wait any longer to see that in real in the age of technology and science.

Because in Korea, scientist at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology made a domestic robot that can wash cloths and do the laundry and even make your food and heat up in the microwave machine. They name this robot “Mahru-Z”. It is a humanoid robot which moves and work like human with arms and legs. And the size of this robot is also close to human. It can rotate head and has a visualization functionality to “see” objects and identify them and make decision what to do with it. This visualization system is three dimensional so more reliability and improved for detecting object for working with less error. Its weighted only around 120 pounds. It uses 6 fingers though to fill the requirement of doing job in robotic arms to reach more functionality like human. For ability of moving and rotating the hand and elbow it can do the work of good laundry job , such as picking up dirty cloths throwing them to laundry machine and then pushing the button to complete the washing and make the laundry job done.

Another strength of Mahru-Z is that it is autonomous, as it can navigate rooms unattended using its visual sensors, and pick things up on the way.'
Mahru-Z could also work in tandem with its fellow maid robot, Marhu-M, an earlier KIST creation that moves on wheels, as both version of these robot machines can be remote controlled through a computer server so the task are can be reliable and improved in future.
Mahru-Z is the result of KIST's long time research on "cognitive humanoid" robots, a key project at the institution. These projects cost about 4 billion won in currency of Korea (about $3.5 million) per year.
