Yes, 'Twendy-One' is a name of a new humanoid robot just out of Japan! His claim to fame is his gentle touch rather than a hard one being a robot! Thanks to the 241 pressure-sensors in each hand, which allow him to grip bread without breaking it. Isn't that great?
Unbelievabley, this is something that every one have been waiting for; a bread gripping robot! This cool rascal stands five-feet tall, and the team responsible for his development hopes to get his price down to $200,000 by 2010, hopefully.
He was designed to serve breakfast, but so far only has a 15 minute battery life. This makes no sense, I mean it, really! However, it is a piece of innovation!
Who needs a warm breakfast on the table when you can have a robot that puts bread in the toaster, turns on the stove, powers down due to a low battery, then lets your house burn to the ground? All for only $200,000. Do you wanna know more about this guy... come on.. don't you? Catch more information about this Robot from the Waseda University, who developed it! I want this rascal... where can I pre-order him? haha
Why don't you watch him in action... ?
