Toshiba ApriAttenda Housekeeping Robot Keeps With Their Cute Fetish

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 17 of March , 2009 at 12:28 am

This prototype housekeeping robot called ApriAttenda is made by Toshiba. It says so in the press release, but I could have guessed anyway based on some of their other robot designs, all of which are white and fat with big eyes. If anything, though, ApriAttenda has gotten a little more mature (and taller) since it was initially displayed back in 2005:

Anyhoo, ApriAttenda is able to open refrigerators and things with the aid of cameras in its palms, and although it’s only a meter tall, it can somehow grow another 0.3 meter if it needs to reach something. Otherwise, there aren’t that many details on this iteration of ApriAttenda, besides that having its picture taken seems to surprise the heck out of it.
