In University today, the Computer Science department are doing a show and tell with their latest toys, a concierge style robot named 'Pepper'. Pepper employs object recognition and LIDAR imaging to map a specific environment and interact with a wide range if queries. Designed for use as a 'meet and greet' service in hotels or large businesses, the robot can track movement and respond to custom queries from public.
Robbie has nothing to fear just yet, but watching its interactions and complex hand movements is quite eerie.
I'm building a much taller one than that. It won't meet and greet but if it was accurate, it should have a flame thrower.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Kev!
