Adaptive control devices that provide a wide variety of techniques by which people
with disabilities can operate their personal computers are commonplace today (see
Adaptive Technologies).
Now, these same techniques can be applied to (1) sending your mobile robot into the kitchen
to grab something from the refrigerator and bring it back to you, or to (2) retrieve a book
from the bookcase, or to (3) open the door to let the cat out or in. With the upcoming
SRI Vision-Arm®
(beta test availability, fourth quarter, 2007), you will be able to.
- Put a DVD into the DVD player
- Water the plants
- Toast an English muffin
- Scratch your back
- Scratch your friend’s back
- Feed the fish (cat, dog, iguana, etc.)
- Raise or lower the window blind
- Operate semi-automated craft equipment
- Operate any and all manual switches, kitchen equipment and the like
You are invited to register
for notification of our pre-release Beta Test Promotion for the first beta-versions of the arm
that are planned for release in October of this year.
Take a look at the video of an early prototype of a desktop arm
(12 MB Version)
(60 MB Version)
that was developed some time ago under the direction of Smart Robots CEO, Joe Bosworth.
