HuiHui towers over kids at 170cm in height, sporting an omnidirectional base with two arms that have five-fingered hands each. It will be able to fetch objects for its master using voice commands, including delivering a glass of water, or perhaps pouring out a cup of tea. Getting bored? It isn’t going to be able to challenge you to a game of Go!, but it can play checkers, churn out some music, and even dance.
A laser range finder located on the front of its wheel enclosure won’t have it send missile co-ordinates to the military anytime soon, but rather, it helps HuiHui get around the home without knocking things over. This doesn’t look as though it will come cheap though – hopefully by the time HuiHui is ready for mainstream action, the general populace in China would be prosperous enough to be able to afford one.
