    T-HR3

                     Like  real-world  human  avatar,  T-HR3  is  a  humanoid  that
                     mimics the movement of its human operator. It can engage
                     not only in everyday tasks such as household chores, nursing

                     and childcare but also construction work and medical diagnosis.
                     In future, these humanoids can perform surgeries while their
                     human operator doctor could control them from another part

                     of the world.
