Aldebaran Robotics – have been working on a robot project called Romeo. The Romeo robot is a humanoid robot designed to be an assistant for people suffering from loss of mobility. Romeo can help with tasks like opening and closing doors, taking something out of the oven, walking stairs, grabbing a bottle or a bunch of keys.

See the video below. He really doesn’t show any of his abilities other than waving and talking.

ACE bot was developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich. The robot asks for directions as it moves through the city. People point in the direction the robot needs to go and the robot figures out the path to it’s destination. The robot was able to reach its destination which was 1.5 kilometers away in five hours after relying on directions from 38 people.
