We can all use some help

"Steal what you want," Kos says. OK, thanks.

A robot that recognises up to 10 faces and understands 10,000 words is to be offered to Japanese consumers looking for a high-tech helper in the house.
The one-metre tall humanoid Wakamaru robot is being marketed as a mechanical house-sitter and secretary.
Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries expects the first robots to go on sale in September.
... The Wakamaru weighs 30kg (66lb) and is expected to cost 1.58m yen (US$14,300).
