IURO is a humanoid robot that can find his way though cities with your help.

At the IROS expo this year, one of the most glamorous robots, with his giant and highly expensive head, was IURO(Interactive Urban Robot). IURO can recognize humans and ask them for directions to help itself.

IURO is founded by Accrea Engineering and being used for researches. The robot is designed to be able to overcome typical urban obstacles like stairs and curbs.

This research will eventually enable autonomous robots to figure out what they don’t know and then ask the nearest human for help.
