Iran has unveiled a robot that can can run, play football and speak Farsi.
Surena, the third version of a humanoid robot that researchers have been developing for eight years, was unveiled earlier this week.
The robot stands at 190 cm (6.2ft) tall, weighs 98 kg (216lb) and has four articulated limbs, similar to Honda’s Asimo and Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot.
It can interact with people using its voice recognition and speech modules – although it’s currently only able to speak Farsi.
Surena can also recognise faces, and imitate peoples’ motions.
