Smart home assistant
“CLOiD” features an advanced mechanical design including two arms with seven degrees of freedom and a flexible torso. This flexibility allows it to perform tasks requiring high precision that traditional robots cannot handle, such as working with fabrics and fragile objects.
Laundry folding and cooking
