Here is a science report.
Mahru-Z, a robot        (develop) by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology can clean a home, put clothes in a washing machine and even heat food in a microwave. It took the institute two years to develop Mahru-Z,       is 4.3 feet tall and is 121 pounds in weight. . The new robot has       human-like body including a rotating head, arms, legs and hands       six fingers. The most special feature of Mahru-Z is        ability to observe objects, recognize tasks, and complete them.
Mahru-Z could also work with an earlier robot which is called Marhu-M. Marhu-M can move on wheels. Both Marhu-M and Mahru-Z can be     (remote) controlled by a computer server.
You Bum-Jae, who was  scientist of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology,     (claim) Mahru-Z as the most advanced robot in terms of copying human movements. Apart from doing the housework, it could also be used in the situations      it is too difficult or dangerous for humans to accomplish the tasks.         it will be a long time before this kind of robots is produced for commercial use .
The science institute spends about 3.5 million dollars every year         robot research. It began receiving state funds for the project in 2006.
