The room service robot has multiple functions, and its battery can last up to 8 hours
Chinese company Pudu Robotics has announced a new centaur-like robot equipped with arms, wheels, and even a friendly “face.” This innovation, called FlashBot Arm, is a semi-humanoid AI-powered model designed to perform tasks in offices, hotels, and restaurants, delivering what the company describes as an “unprecedented intelligent service experience.”
With a four-hour charge, its battery can last up to eight hours. Pricing and market availability have not yet been disclosed.
Additionally, the FlashBot Arm features a 10.1-inch touchscreen, which, combined with a built-in microphone and speaker, allows it to interact with humans in a basic way using an artificial intelligence system.
Weighing 15 kg, this invention has two arms, each with three joints and seven degrees of freedom, along with hands that have 11 degrees of freedom. According to the company, the FlashBot Arm can pick up and carry objects, which are stored in a compartment in the robot’s “torso,” press buttons, and use keycards with an operational range of up to 2 meters.
Using its sensors and cameras, the room service robot can generate 3D maps of its surroundings to avoid obstacles while performing its tasks.
