Who Doesn’t Love a Good Robot? – Samsung Bot Handy at Your Service

We get closer and closer to the Jetsons Life every year. This Bot series from Samsung seems no different. While they scare me, I can’t help but be enamored by how close they keep getting to human functions. I know were still far off from robot companions – but we’re closer.

The Bot Handy has the ability to “pick up objects of varying sizes, shapes and weights,” the one-armed Bot Handy can help with household chores, like sorting the dishes and tidying up messy rooms. Employing advanced artificial intelligence technology, it’s even smart enough to differentiate the material of various objects, so it knows how much force to use when picking something up.
