韓國(guó)科學(xué)家近期研制出了一個(gè)名為“Mahru-Z”的智能機(jī)器人女傭，她能幫助主人打掃房子、將衣服傾倒進(jìn)洗衣機(jī)、用微波爐加熱食物等。據(jù)介紹，這名女傭身高1.3米、體重55公斤，她的頭部可以轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，胳膊腿齊全，有6根手指，而且還有能夠分辨人和不同家務(wù)活動(dòng)的三維視覺(jué)功能。據(jù)悉，韓國(guó)科學(xué)技術(shù)研究所的科學(xué)家們用了兩年時(shí)間才完成這項(xiàng)研究，他們表示，Mahru-Z除了能干家務(wù)活以外，還可以代替人類完成一些高難度或者太過(guò)危險(xiǎn)的任務(wù)。

A walking robot maid which can clean a home, dump clothes in a washing machine and even heat food in a microwave has been developed by South Korean scientists.
Mahru-Z has a human-like body including a rotating head, arms, legs and six fingers plus three-dimensional vision to recognize chores that need to be tackled, media reports said on Monday.
"The most distinctive strength of Mahru-Z is its visual ability to observe objects, recognize the tasks needed to be completed, and execute them," You Bum-Jae, head of the cognitive robot centre at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, told the Korea Times.
"It recognizes people, can turn on microwave ovens, washing machines and toasters, and also pick up sandwiches, cups and whatever else it senses as objects."
The institute took two years to develop Mahru-Z, which is 1.3 metres tall and weighs 55 kilograms.
It could also work with an earlier maid robot called Marhu-M which moves on wheels, since both can be remotely controlled through a computer server.
Apart from tackling chores, researchers say Mahru-Z can also be used in conditions too difficult or dangerous for humans.
But mass production for commercial use is some way away.
The science institute spends about four billion won ($A3.8 million) every year on robot research.
It began receiving state funds for the project in 2006.
