Robot manufacturer, Pal Robotics is based in Spain managed to create a humanoid robot. Robot named REMM-H1 is designed to provide services to the travelers at various tourist attractions in or used for office purposes. In particular, this robot is capable of acting as the hotel staff or tour guide at the museum.

Like other humanoid robots, Reem-H1 also has no facial expression. However, this robot has a stereoscopic camera that is located behind the eyes to recognize someone’s face. He also has a microphone that can distinguish between several languages.
Not only that, this robot has ultrasonic and laser sensors to facilitate the purposes of mapping and detecting obstacles when he was sliding. Unfortunately, the battery, the robot can only survive as long as eight hours in a single recharging. Robot capable of running as fast as 4km/jam also has a special room to put some stuff in it.

The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which premiered in 1921.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!", published in May 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction. Asimov was unaware that he was coining the term; since the science and technology of electrical devices is electronics, he assumed robotics already referred to the science and technology of robots. In some of Asimov's other works, he states that the first use of the word robotics was in his short story Runaround (Astounding Science Fiction, March 1942). However, the word robotics appears in "Liar!"
