Robot butlers with RFID scanners could be used as service animals

2014-09-23 21:24:11| Extremetech

We already use dogs and monkeys as service animals to help people with disabilities, so why not use robots as well? Researchers at Georgia Tech have combined RFID tags, long-distance scanners, and a self-propelled robot to develop a method of reliably locating objects in a real-world setting. With this set-up, people with reduced mobility or short-term memory can ask the robot for help finding important items like medicine or documents.
