The mother robot is equipped with a camera and several sensors, weighs 35kg and its specialty is capable of recognizing visitor’s face or voice.

The mother bot is holding a touchscreen display in her hands, which allows visitors to find out more information about the building before entering, or to contact people inside.
The kid robot is holding a security camera, that shall be taking snapshots of bystanders, to keep a record of everyone passes by. The kid bot weighs just 1.5 kg and is portable. But it’s meant for security purpose only.
Anyway, this robotic pair is super expensive which will cost $30,000 or can be leased in for $700 a month over a 4-year period. The pair may be worth to have to replace man power cost for long term.
