SKorea's dancing robot can also tackle the chores
October 13, 2008
This handout combination of pictures released by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology(KIST) shows Mahru, a new robot, dancing in the institute's showroom in Seoul. The robot can move its lips, eyebrows and even pupils freely to make faces and can emit two kinds of fragrances to match its emotions.
South Korean researchers said Monday they have developed a robot which can dance and get emotional when it's not tackling the chores.
