Japanese company Honda showed a prototype of a humanoid robot-rescuer, which was announced in 2015, but has only become functional now, according to a publication in the IEEE Spectrum. The Honda E2-DR relies on the Intel Core i7 processor to process the data coming from different sensors. The head and limbs of the smart machine, similar in shape, are equipped with cameras and multiple sensors.
The robot is 168 cm high and weighs 85 kg. It can move at a speed of up to 4 km / h, climb stairs, pass through narrow paths (30 cm wide), open doors and overcome obstacles, and bend at an angle of up to 180 °. The Honda E2-DR analyzes the environment in search of the most appropriate route. Moreover, the robot is able to perform the tasks and in heavy rain. The included battery pack provides autonomous operation for an hour and a half. But Honda engineers still have a lot to do to make the Honda E2-DR ready for production.
