Chinanews, Shenyang, April 19 - A company in Shenyang has successfully developed the first two next-generation homemaking robots in China, which will be put into production in July, 2007. It is estimated that the general public will be able to enjoy their service in the next 5 years.

 

The name of the two robots are Yue Yue and Liang Liang. 0.8 m tall and 25 kg heavy, they are capable of performing functions of teacher, entertainer, security guard and personal assistant.. Their silver-gray appearance makes them look very modern and lovely.

 

They act according to voice instructions of their owners. They can talk, though in simple words, not telling stories and singing. If there is a gas or a tap water leak, they will send short warning messages to the cellphone of their owners while sounding alarms.

 

Yue Yue and Liang Liang can also work as family tutors, for they can record lessons in their memories, and play back at any time. With a user-friendly graphic1 interface2, they can also make their user forget notebooks and PDAs.

 

"We are developing new models with legs and hands at present. In the future, the homemaking robots will become real qualified3 homemakers," said Ha Enjing, the director of the Development Department of the company.
