Vstone Robovie R3 assistive robot.

In January I attended the International Consumer Electronics Show (C.E.S.) in Las Vegas Nevada as a correspondent for Robot Magazine http://botmag.com. Robot Magazine is a print Magazine which is all about Robotics on all levels. Botmag, features everything from educational robots to full industrial robots and is a really fun magazine to write for. Robot Magazine is also branching out into putting web content out in addition to the printed version.

This months issue of Robot Magazine online has an article I submitted about my trip to the C.E.S. show and features nearly 50 photographs of new Robotic products introduced at C.E.S.. Please take a moment and check out the article at  http://botmag.com. Because this is some of the first web content produced using a new C.M.S. system, the article is split into a text portion and a photo gallery, So you may need to scroll down to see the pictures. Future article will be in a more conventional magazine format.

One of my favorite robots was the Robovie R3 from Vstone. Robovie R3 is an assistive robot designed to help the elderly get around and interact. Robovie will hold your hand and help you avoid objects thanks to it’s Laser Rangefinder.  R3 even has touch sensors in it’s shoulders which allow it to turn and face you when you tap it on the shoulder.
