The Alpha2 robot will dance its way into your house and your heart
The field of human-like household robots got a little more crowded today as Ubtech Robotics launched a crowdfunding campaign for its new Alpha2 humanoid companion-bot. This diminutive domestic drone is designed on the same premise as today’s smartphones — that is, it offers a responsive, intuitive and attractive platform on which to build intelligent and useful functionality. As such, the Alpha2 is fully programmable, operates on an open-source OS and offers cutting-edge sensory inputs including ultrasonic, touch and pressure sensors. And unlike Pepper and Buddy, Alpha2 actually has legs. In fact, with more than 20 servos packed into its joints, this robot is surprisingly spry.
