REEM-H2, the humanoid service robot

The REEM-H2, a humanoid robot that made its debut at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Complex awhile ago will be a lot more common in the future. After being impressed with its performance, the United Arab Emirates has ordered another twenty units that will be placed in shopping malls and public areas around the city. The 165cm tall robot from Pal Robotics travels at a speed of up to 5km/h and can move around, observe and even communicate with regular people thanks to its stereoscopic vision and multitude of on-board sensors. The robot’s 8 hour battery life should be long enough to help and direct folks who need directions or have questions about places during working hours. It can even be used to carry luggage or even let users make video calls. Hit the break to catch a couple of videos showing the REEM-H2 in action:
