Regina a robot that lifts people at the hospital

The advancement of robotics can be seen only in one country and that is Japan. A local company Japan Logic Machine has created 'Regina' a health care robot. The specialty of this robot is that it can lift people as heavy as 200 kg. This robot outperforms its existing peers who can lift only up to 80 kg. The robot is almost in the final stages and will be shipped to Japanese Medical institutions by the fall of 2010. One Regina robot can cost anywhere between $60,000 – 80,000.
