Taken to the cleaners

Japanese robot manufacturer Tmsuk has unveiled a new guide and floor-cleaning robot, the RIDC-01, which can recognize human voices and comes equipped with a projector on its head (on which it can display DVD movies or information).

RIDC-01

It is doesn’t come cheap, however; you’ll need around US$85,000 to buy one.
