Pal Technology’s REEM-B humanoid shown off in Abu Dhabi

By in Uncategorized on June 13th, 2008

We heard that Pal Technology’s REEM-B would be “fully revealed in Q1 2008,” and while things seem to be running ever-so-slightly behind, we can’t gripe too much. The creature was recently shown off in Abu Dhabi, where onlookers swooned and secretly crushed on the totally macho being. Its creators have also announced that the 1.47-meter tall robot was the last prototype to be formed, as it has plans for a commercial venture “in the near future.” The overriding

goal for REEM-B is to have it act as a service bot for the elderly and disabled, and considering that it has no qualms reacting to voice commands and “engaging in simple conversations,” we’d say it’s pretty well suited to do just that.
