A humanoid robot is a robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body. In general humanoid robots have a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, although some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots may also have a 'face', with 'eyes' and 'mouth'. Androids are humanoid robots built to resemble a male human, and Gynoids are humanoid robots built to resemble a human female.Read more about Humanoid Robot in Wikipedia.

REEM-B is the evolution of the first humanoid created by Pal Technology Robotics, the REEM-A. The first prototype was designed to play chess with the Hydra chess engine and to be used as development platform. With REEM-B, Pal Technology comes astonishingly close to its final goal; to create a humanoid service robot that will be able to help humans in the future with sophisticated tasks.

Reem B has the unique ability to map and self localize itself, both elements that distinctly set it apart from Reem A. Although both robots can perform face recognition, object recognition, voice recognition, walking and playing chess, Reem B can also converse with humans, walk dynamically, recognize and grasp objects, accept voice commands, and even remind appointments like secretary.

Reem B is also able to carry up to 25% of its weight, making it the world’s strongest humanoid robot. In addition, the 1.47 meter tall robot has a fingered hand with 12 motors, and is able to maneuver up and down stairs, with added sensors to ensure that it avoids any obstacles. Reem B also boasts the longest battery autonomy of any robot – an impressive 120 minutes.

Mr Davide Faconti from Pal Technology said: “Our dedicated team of engineers has worked hard for four long years to get to where we are today. This is an extremely proud moment for all of those who have worked tirelessly in helping to develop Reem B. The event will showcase a number of Reem B’s advanced skills, including the ability to proficiently navigate a room and steer around obstacles.”

Mr Basar Shueb, General Manager of Pal Technology said: “Pal Technology’s ultimate goal is to create a truly useful humanoid service robot that will be able to help humans in the future with sophisticated tasks. Reem B is clearly aligned with this vision, not only representing the next generation of humanoid robotics, but a robot designed to assist people and not replace them.”
