Intel has been developing for some time a Home Exploring Robotic Butler (HERB, for the relatives).  It features, among other things, two Barrett arms with grippers (since it was upgraded from the previous one-armed version) , a Segway RPM base, and a Hokuyo UTM-30LX Scanning Laser Rangefinder. The robot brain is an Intel i7 processor running Linux. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSKS96DVx1M Intel is not going to be selling robots any time soon. They have developed this robot in order to improve and create adaptive algorithms for navigation and object manipulation in changing unstructured environments.
