新颖激光雷达机器人亮相上海(上海)国际进出口技术交易会 - 2017年05月03日

A robot took over duties of guiding visitors to exhibition booths at the China (Shanghai) International Technology Fair recently.

The “host” had no one in the background moving its parts by remote control. This robot is smart enough to “see” its surroundings because of laser radar embedded in the machine’s software.

Shanghai-based Slamtec manufactured the robot. The laser radar allows the robot to scan its surroundings in fractions of a second. It also has “brain” software to enable the robot to choose the best routes to guide visitors to a given exhibit.
