Follow that robot!

Three years after the development of robots that act like rats, UC Davis engineers have designed a control system for robots allowing them to pick up on cues that the leader is about to turn, predict where it is going and follow it. This system mimics the human ability to capture signals — consciously or not — from drivers on the road or people walking in the streets to predict what they’re about to do. As said the team leader, ‘robots that are better at following could be easier for people to work with.’ With this system, an hospital robot could follow doctors during their rounds. The researchers don’t say anything about the availability of their system, but read more…

Robots Learn to Follow

Whether driving on the highway or walking down the street, people pick up on deliberate signals and unconscious cues to predict what other people are going to do and act accordingly. But robots have trouble following one other. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have come up with a control system that allows a robot to pick up on cues that the leader is about to turn, predict where it is going and follow it.

Robots Learn To Follow

Whether driving on the highway or walking down the street, we pick up on both deliberate signals and unconscious cues to predict what other people are going to do and act accordingly. But robots have trouble following each other around, for example, when a leader turns a corner and disappears from sight. Researchers at UC Davis have come up with a control system that allows a robot to pick up on cues that the leader is about to turn, predict where it is going and follow it.

A Simple & Effective Keyword Strategy for Ecommerce Sites

When it comes to ecommerce sites, there are plenty of keywords to choose from.

(Please keep in mind that all keyphrases used in this article are for example only and have not been researched.)
