The famous Japanese robot Asimo must step aside to make way for Sorena, the Iranian robot that is much smarter. Sorena's size is that of a human, and it can run, play football, and speak Persian. The English-language website Daily Mail reports that Sorena is the third model of a robot developed by Iranian researchers over the past eight years. This robot was unveiled earlier this week in Tehran. Sorena stands 190 centimeters tall, weighs 90 kilograms, and like the Japanese robot Asimo from Honda and the American robot Atlas from Boston Dynamics, it has four limbs. With the help of voice recognition software and its speech tools, Sorena can communicate, although it currently can only speak Persian. This robot can recognize people's faces and mimic their movements. It was created by the robotics research department at the University of Tehran under the supervision of Professor Aqil Yousefi Kama. Professor Yousefi Kama told Spectrum, a special robotics science magazine, that Sorena-3 can be utilized in manufacturing factories, the healthcare sector, and in rescue and relief operations. According to him, this robot symbolizes technological advancement 'for peace and service to humanity.'
