Seemingly not content to be outdone in the area of personal service/assistance robots by rival automaker Honda’s ASIMO, Toyota has partnered up with the University of Tokyo to develop the Home Assistance Robot, or HAR. It supposedly does everything from mop the floor to clear the table thanks to lasers, six-jointed hands and even the ability to learn from its mistakes. I think it also comes with a document stating that you must name it Rosie.
