Intelligent robots are no rarity to come by, and similarly service has been a credential that bots are living up to with intelligence and navigation software embeddings. Climbing higher in the ladder, a venture collaboration from ROBOSOFT and SRI International has delivered a home-service oriented robot assistant that follows the needy elders around the house. Based on ROBOSOFT’s mobile robuLAB10 robot, the robotic system integrates SRI’s navigation software, enabling the robot to navigate, follow and assist the patients across rooms.
The navigation software does away with complications a robot can face in navigating interior spaces both safely and reliably, while robuLAB10 endowing a voice interface to access internet services intends to add to the robot’s efficacy. We haven’t really found a word on how and what kind of elderly patients the robot would assist. And its limited mobility wouldn’t be great help for the patients who aren’t bed ridden and can move up and down the stairs.
