The 100 cm tall robot, called Wakamuru, is described as being able to assist the sick or elderly in their homes. It can conduct simple conversation using a 10,000 word vocabulary, and uses face recognition technology to find (and follow) faces and movements. Wakumuru’s locomotion is based on wheels rather than leg-like motion used by several other experimental robots developed in Japan.
