France developing humanoid robot Romeo to assist elderly and disabled

Paris-based Aldrebaran Robotics is scheduled to bring France into the elite club of countries engaged in developing advanced adult humanoid robots with their humanoid robot called Romeo being created to assist the elderly and disabled people. Scheduled to be unveiled in March next year, the 1.4-meter-tall robot will be good to walk about in the house, do household chores like fetching food from the kitchen, taking out garbage and assisting elderly and disabled with their everyday tasks, and would cost about 250,000 Euros and weigh 40 kilograms. We learn that the humanoid Romeo will be capable of being communicated with using natural speech and gestures, and will be a robot equipped with "four-vertebra backbone, articulated feet, a partially soft torso, a composite leg exoskeleton, and a an actuator that’ll let the bot control its limbs in a safer way."
