HSR is equipped with a clamp mounted on an arm 76 cm in length. when
 the arm is not in use, it folds up against the body of the robot. The height of this assis-
 as robotic is adjustable ranging from 82 to 131 cm . It can move to 3 km / h and
 his movements are controlled via a tablet and a very friendly interface UTI
 Liser ( see video) . A second shelf can be attached to the robot head ,
 to see on the control pad that sees the robot. HSR can
 pick up an object on the ground or height, then bring it. It can also shoot
 curtains and open a door or window.
 These gestures are usually considered a simple and easy run can be unattainable
 but important for a disabled person . HSR can be used to make video conferences.
