Robot-Avatars

A few months ago in one of Moscow’s libraries moved a robot named Huck. In the library he works guide. He has no hands, and instead of legs – the wheels, the only “eye” – an ordinary video camera. And Huck, a bit clumsy.

 

Huck – no ordinary robot. They operate via the Internet using a standard computer. Huck is not intelligence shines. But librarians say that it is socially necessary invention. This kind of avatar for children who can not physically visit the library.

 

Another story. Twelve-year-old boy to health can not attend school. Instead, it sits on the lessons of his avatar. The boy runs them out of his apartment over the internet. Thanks to the robot and the lesson he can listen to and play with his classmates.

 

Such a miracle robots in Moscow for ten. They work in schools, hospitals and libraries. More about fifty advanced F-Bots, as they are called developers are waiting for their turn. The creators said that the exterior of the robot will soon undergo an interesting metamorphosis. For example, it will appear demonstrative hands. If the child is sitting behind the screen of your monitor, turn your head or lift a hand, the robot is exactly repeat his motion. Such robots would be more comfortable. They will help you enjoy a full life to those who, for example, confined to bed.
