Japanese start-up Mira Robotics develops robots that can be hired to help especially elderly people with their domestic needs, such as hanging up the laundry.
The remotely controlled robot "Ugo" is able to remove the laundry from the washing machine, place it in a basket, hang it on a line and fold it up when it is dry. He uses his arms and adjusts his height to the task. For orientation, he uses three cameras and communicates via microphone and Wi-Fi connection.
