Soft, safe "growable" robot promises friendlier future home helpers
GUANGZHOU, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Forget the clunky, rigid robots of today. Researchers in China have unveiled a new type of soft, lightweight humanoid robot designed to be a safe and adaptable helper in future homes.
Inspired by "growable" human bones, the robot named GrowHR is 1.36 meters tall but weighs only 4.5 kg, which is lighter than a large house cat. A six-year-old child can easily lift GrowHR.
