• RIBA the robot can pick up chicks, literally


    • RIBA looks like a fat futuristic avatar of Mickey Mouse. This one does run after Minnie but picks up chicks and gives them a hug. Yes that is the mission of ‘Riba’. Standing tall at 160 cms it is designed to be a helper at the hospital where it can lift up patients from the wheelchair and place them on the bed and vice-versa. Currently under development what we are to see them at Japanese in the near future.
