“Walking slowly like human beings with regular arm and leg movements are among its characteristics,” it said.
“Such robots are designed and developed to be used in sensitive and difficult jobs on behalf of a person or as help.”
The report did not elaborate on the robot’s capabilities.

Soorena-2, named after an ancient Persian warrior, was unveiled by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It is 1.45 metres (4.7 feet) tall and weighs 45 kilograms (99 pounds), the report said.
Which makes it about the same size as Ahmadinejad.
Update: Even though I was making fun of Ahmadinejad’s height, I was not so far off.
