Mamoru is a pint-sized elder-care robot created by the University of Tokyo that even looks like a diminutive granny with a cute little plastic bun. Like most grandmothers, Mamoru is also very helpful. It helps the elderly or disabled remember where they left their remote control or slippers. It even offers polite reminders when it's time to take medicine. To recognize objects, Mamoru uses a wide-angle camera to keep track of the room, and image recognition software to tell what each object is.
