It is cute, white and looks like a character from a Star Wars movie. But YuMi, pronounced "you and me" in Chinese, is one of the new breed of industrial robots.
Built by ABB Ltd, the multinational corporation based in Zurich, Switzerland, YuMi was the star of the show at ABB Automation World in Chongqing early this month.
At just 399 millimeters tall, the robot made its Chinese debut after being unveiled to the world at the Hannover Messe trade show on April 13, following nine years of research and development.
