Robot EMIEW 2 is Designed for office Assistance

Two years after the launch of EMIEW 2, Hitachi upgraded the 2010 version with better situational awareness and improved voice recognition.

This second robot in Hitachi's EMIEW series (which stands for Excellent Mobility and Interactive Existence as Work-mate) is the perfect deskmate.

EMIEW 2 can deliver drinks or documents and take visitors to the right place while navigating desks, chairs, and corridors using map generation and a scanning range finder.

Speak to EMIEW 2, and the robot will recognize commands or conversation through voice recognition and a microphone array.

And as you follow the robot around the office, this little guy relies on wheels to get around, while with a heavier load, EMIEW 2 kneels down for greater stability.
