Taiwan has created a robot that can be used as a receptionist, tour guide, doctor's aide and security guide. The 39.4", 132 lb. Monica films visitors then either recognizes them and lets them in or calls for a real security guard. Her sensory functions can alert doctors to patients who have fallen down and can't get up, and she can also be called upon to give directions. Monica is available to those who can afford the $12,500.00 price. Although we could not find an image of Monica, we pictured her looking a lot like the above image.
