Beginning next year Koreans will have the option to buy their own personal robot for a price of 1000$ – 2000$. The robots have lots of functions, some include cleaning rooms, home monitoring and reading books.
Some even have the ability to recharge electricity automatically and order a variety of foods using a local information network.
The price of the robots is cheap, mainly due to the fact that most processes are directed from the outside using wireless connections to communicate with the robot whose sensing and processing functions are maintained by a web connection.
“Like downloading a variety of software to personal computers via the broadband pipeline, most sensing and processing programs will be downloaded to URC robots,’’ said Oh Sang-rok, MIC project manager who is in charge of the URC scheme.
