Big news from the creators of REEM-A.

The second prototype,REEM-B, has been announced. The second prototype got many improvements: a fingered hand with 12 motors, the ability to go up and down stairs, additional 6 axis force sensors on the arms, ultrasonic range finders to avoid obstacles and a completely new look (but we must wait February 2008 to find out how it looks like). As well, REEM-B will be able to perform SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping).
