ENON: Can A Humanoid Replace My Assistant?

If I think of getting dumped for a humanoid assistant, I feel more challenged. Although a humanoid robot can perform almost everything a real person does, it cannot by all means replace human intelligence.

Humanoid robot is a robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body, allowing interaction with made-for-human tools or environments. Generally humanoid robots have a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, like Asimo, others only have the upper torso parts like Enon. Some humanoid robots may also have a 'face', with 'eyes' and 'mouth'. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble a human.

Enon, short for exciting nova on network, is Fujitsus's hardworking robot worker. It was developed in 2005 and has already been working at companies like vnunet. The robot can perform various tasks such as guidance and escorting, transporting objects, and security patrolling, and can also connect to store networks to help customers find what they are looking for. Its like having your own personal assistant.
