Vizzy is a nice and new robot.
Vizzy is a wheeled humanoid robot with an anthropomorphic upper torso. It combines easy mobility, grasping ability, human-like visual perception, eye-head movements and arm gestures. The humanoid appearance improves user acceptance and facilitates interaction. The lower body mobile platform is able to navigate both indoors and outdoors.

Vizzy is a wheeled humanoid robot with an anthropomorphic upper torso. It combines easy mobility, grasping ability, human-like visual perception, eye-head movements and arm gestures. The humanoid appearance improves user acceptance and facilitates interaction. The lower body mobile platform is able to navigate both indoors and outdoors.
