The new robot developed by the RIKEN-SRK Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research in Nagoya announced in 2009. The new ROBEAR robot is lighter than its predecessors Of only 140 kilograms, and incorporates a series of functions that allow you to exert a force in a delicate way.
The robot also improves its predecessors by having a small base, which makes the system lighter. It prevents it from falling through the use of legs that can be extended when needed to lift a patient, but is withdrawn to allow the robot to maneuver through small spaces, such as doors.
