 of robotic technology to consumers from the industrial robot market.

"KUKA is committed to the advancement of robotic technology in both the industrial and consumer arenas. The development of more intelligent and easy to operate robots will begin to drive the development of more capable service robots for applications such as medical and ultimately for consumer use in individuals' homes," said Kevin Kozuszek, director of marketing for KUKA Robotics Corporation. "This concept cell is an example of the next step forward towards improved control and interface capabilities between humans and robots."

As the consumer and service robotic sector continues to expand new technologies will be vital in the development of products designed specifically with the consumer in mind. This concept cell, developed by KUKA System Partner SEIS Group, Inc. of Huntington Beach, California Huntington Beach is a seaside city in Orange County in southern California. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 189,594. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west, by Seal Beach on the north, by Costa Mesa on the south, by Westminster on the northeast, and by , using the KUKA KR 16 robot with a Wii controller is one such example. Attendees to the company's booth will be able to personally experience the cell's easy to use wireless robot control capabilities.
