Like the PR2, the Movo can be equipped with either one or two arms, and moves omnidirectionally (at a maximum speed of 2 meters/78.8 inches per second) on a set of wheels in its base. The arms can be removed for use on their own, and can be equipped with either 2- or 3-fingered grippers. And should the robot need to get taller for any reason, its torso can telescope up from a height of 1,100 to 1,580 mm (43 to 62 in).

It's possible to remotely-control the Wi-Fi-enabled robot in real time, or it can operate autonomously. A LiDAR unit in its base, along with a gimbal-mounted depth-sensing Kinect One camera on its head, allow it to detect obstacles and perceive its environment. An Intel CPU, meanwhile, helps it to make sense of everything, and to coordinate its movements.
