Arnea robot was launched in 2003 with Arne Robot through the collaboration of New Era company and the robotic students of St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University. Arnea robot stands at 4 feet, weighs 61 kilograms and is a mix of red and white colors.
This anthropomorphic robot has the ability to walk straight, avoid obstacles, follow 40 separate commands and respond by synthesizing its own voice.
