New Hitachi Emiew Humaniod Robot

Mar 16 2005, 10:31am EST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Hitachi releases the supposedly worlds fastest humanoid roboto Emiew. The Emiew Robot has wheels and speeds around with 6km/h.

Hitachi made simpler robots before, but the Emiew is their first Humaniod robot. Emiew (Excellent Mobility and Interactive Existence as Workmate) and can react to 100 words. The Emiew is faster than Asimo, but does not have legs, so for me its not really humaniod, Hitachi is cheating a bit here comparing their robot with Honda's Asimo and Sony's Qrio.
