Don’t like household chores?
These robots help!
How often do you clean your house? Once a week? Twice a month?
Never? Well, these two robots clean the house for you. The iRobot
Roomba turns right or left, and vacuums while you watch TV or
exercise. Take a nap, and the house is clean want to when you get
up. And if you wash the floor, the iRobot Scooba washes the floor
for you. The Scooba moves around corners and washes the floor
while you listen to music or check your e-mail. Now that’s help with
household chores!
And who is this? Meet ASIMO, a robot from the Honda Motor Company, ASIMO doesn’t clean the house. It
doesn’t wash dishes or take out the garbage. But ASIMO walks, climbs stairs, carries things, and pushes
things. ASIMO says, “I’m.” Say “turn left” or “turn right,” and ASIMO turns. ASIMO also greets people. Some
people think ASIMO is very cute.
