QRIO sony (2005 model)

Major technology includes stable dynamic walking and running, full arm movement allowing throwing a ball, voice/face recognition, stereoscopic vision, obstacle avoidance, visual mapping, wireless network. Its "pinch detection" senses if a finger is caught in its joints - a major step to a robot tactile sense.

The new 2005 QRIO robot shows advanced features, including a "third eye" camera which allows it to notice and track individuals in a group of people. The new model also has improved dexterity - the fingers actually work! In a December 2005 demonstration, QRIO showed off its ability to identify blocks by size and color, lift them using its lower body and stack one on top of the other.
