Its weight is about 90 Kg, 22 degrees of freedom and an autonomy of about 8 hours. Reem is controlled by OROCOS for real time operations and by ROS for skill depletion. Among other abilities, it can recognize and grasp objects, detect faces, follow a person and even clean a room of objects that do not belong to it.
