South Korean scientists have developed a walking robot maid called Mahru-Z that has a human-like body including a rotating head, arms, legs and six fingers plus three-dimensional vision to recognise chores that need to be tackled, the Korea Times reports. The walking robt can clean a home, dump clothes in a washing machine and even heat food in a microwave. It took the Korea Institute of Science and Technolog two years to develop Mahru-Z, which is 1.3 metres (4.3 feet) tall and weighs 55 kilograms (121 pounds). It could also work with an earlier maid robot called Marhu-M which moves on wheels, since both can be remotely controlled through a computer server.
“The most distinctive strength of Mahru-Z is its visual ability to observe objects, recognize the tasks needed to be completed, and execute them,” You Bum-Jae, head of the cognitive robot center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, told the Korea Times.

Remember Wall-E? I think we will see it soon :)
