Also, the term 'robot' doesn't really fit. Enryu has an operator and is very similar to the smaller machines that are used in Japan to tear down small homes and buildings. The real innovation is the way its multiple degree of freedom manipulators were implemented.

Tmsuk, the company responsible for Enryu, seems to be trying to enter almost every sector of robotics from small domestic security robots, to mid-sized store assistants, all the way up to huge construction and rescue robots like Enryu.

For example, on Thursday NTT Communications announced a proof of concept test will be run in Fukuoka later this month using Tsmuk shopping assistant robots in an actual department store - http://www.robots-dreams.com/2006/02/are_you_being_s.html This has the potential of eventually eliminating most store clerks and other store personnel.
