The Readybot Robot Challenge is a non-profit research group who recently released an amazing video of its Readybot that cleans a family room full of toys and clutter. This video of the Readybot Robot Challenge is the second video that follows its previous video of a kitchen cleaning robot.
Benson Readybot Director stresses on the fact that the future of the robotics is very bright. At times robots will be bought part by part and will be assembled to be a complete one just like the computers. The robot arms, bases, video systems could be made by different vendors and then plugged together.
The Readybot room cleaner robot looks almost like a dishwasher but the only difference is that it has arms. This Readybot robot uses a carpet rake attachment to scrape toys into plastic bins, moving sideways and diagonally to reach tight spots. It also stores the bins in a cabinet, closes the door, and empties the trash. Another clip of the Readybot shows that it scoots out to vacuum the carpet.
With all such amazing and unbelievable acts the Readybot room cleaner robot will be announced in the Fall of 2008.
