New Japanese “honey” by Jana Kokavcova

Hitachi is very big company in Japan and Japan is among greatest leaders in robotic. Hitachi brings something really new to our world, something that could help us to have less work, something that could be our second "I". This surprise from Hitachi is really small and really smart robot designed in red and white. So, I think, we could say the robot is pretty too. Robots are now mostly used in machinery and toys, but it wouldn't stay in this way. New robot will be your assistant. This robot could understand human speech and if you want to he could help you to find place, people… Maybe he is really good navigator on two or four wheels. Robot has new possibility. He knows how to move not only on two, but on four wheels too. He can sit down on his knees and use all his four wheels. There are some problems in his coordination, because when he had to go through two desks, he crashed. But scientists say it is not so big defect. They should repair it and give this "red & white robot" on the market. I thing it will be very expensive friend for you, but maybe for some people very useful not only like a smart toy. There are some handicapped people that need their help. Maybe in the future robots will not be so expensive and ordinary unhealthy person will have possibility to buy "mechanical assistant" very easy. The future belongs to robots. Is it true? I think, people hearing about technique want more and more natural things in their lives. It will be great to have mechanical friends and maybe one day they will have feelings too. We shouldn't forget that the robots are only lifeless things and not our friends, colleagues and partners. They shouldn't compensate them. They have to help us in our life.
