REEM-B: One Step Closer to a Humanoid Service Robot
     

Davide Faconti of
Pal Technology Robotics wrote
to tell us about the introduction of their new humanoid robot REEM-B,
which was first announced in December of 2007. REEM-B supercedes the
older REEM-A robot. The company's goal is to create
a humanoid service robot. REEM-B is
closer to that goal and is able to walk dynamically, grasp objects,
navigate within buildings. The 1.47 meter tall robot also accepts voice
command and recognizes faces. REEM-B's 120 minute battery life is twice
that of REEM-A. The REEM robots are developed in Barcelona, Spain by the
Pal team. See
the REEM media
webpage for video of the robot in action. You can also find video of
REEM-A
and REEM-B on YouTube.
