They are 1.3 meters tall, weighs 63 kilograms and can move to destination with the help of eight cameras in their head and a newly developed high-speed 3D image processing system, the companies said. The robot can get on an elevator and press elevator buttons by itself. It can transport documents and other things by pushing a luggage carrier.

The robots should be on sale for 2 million yen each around next June.

From Japan Today, via Fun / Foon Tokyo.
Update: Nanoblog found the press release with more details.
