Helper Robots : The HRP-2 Dishbot

The Roomba vacuuming robot is great, but it can't think by himself because it just got no personality. Enter the HRP-2 humanoid robot, which looks like both a helpful ally in the war against chores and a new best friend at the same time.
In development at the University of Tokyo, the HRP-2 is being taught how to wash dishes with a combination of motion capture and virtual simulation. Its purpose is to be just like a real dishwashing mother, as a University of Tokyo professor says: "We're focusing on failure detection... If you move a cup while the robot is trying to grasp it, the robot just recomputes its actions." It's also likely to slap your face if you don't eat your peas. The dishbot isn't limited just to cleaning dirty it also can do a lot of thing, on as the pictures of the HRP-2 vacuuming like Rosie from the Jetsons. 3D sensors should help the robot realistically sense its surroundings.

The HRP-2 might came handy for the housewife, so they don't have to do lot of house work. They can have lot of time to have leisure or do other thing while just let the HRP-2 do the work, but HRP-2 need to be supervise also for making sure they don't do anything wrong.
