A robot jointly designed by the University of Tokyo and the Toyota Motor Corporation is designed to do the chores a lot of people would opt out of doing if possible. Japan is expecting to experience labor shortage soon due to the country's low birthrate and aging society. That is the reason why a robot for the service sector was built. In a demonstration for the media last week, the robot was able to dump clothes in the washing machine, put away the dishes, and even clean up rooms.

What's great about this robot is that it can analyze its past mistakes and learn from them, like a human would. So if it accidentally bumps into your furniture once, it wouldn't happen again. The robot weighs 287 pounds and stands at around five feet tall. It has laser sensors to detect obstruction of way, five recognition cameras, two arms, and wheels for mobility. The developers aim to improve the robot more in the future.
