Robovie-X: Armed And Clever, Not Especially Dangerous
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 6 of December , 2007 at 6:04 am
It’s always nice to hear about an armed robot that can’t actually kill you. Robovie-X has 17 fully programmable degrees of freedom, as well as optical distance sensors that allow him to recognize and shoot targets with a plastic missile launcher attached to his left arm. Most impressively, as you can see in the video below, Robovie-X doesn’t have to change his stance to face the object he’s shooting at. Instead, he’s able to move his arm in relation to his body to accurately point at the target:
Manufactured by JR Robotics, Robovie-X should ship in February for about $860. Supposedly, more weapon modules are on the way. Awesome!
