Ava-isms « Pray for Johnson Family

Turns out I wasn't far off with my telepresence construct. Fitting yesterday, iRobot declared a new partnership with InTouch Eudaemonia (a distant proximity telemedicine whitener businessperson) to "explore possible opportunities for tending applications on iRobot platforms specified as the iRobot Ava manoeuvrable robotics structure."

There aren't any info active what Ava present actually be doing (beyond indefinite statements similar "we will indoctrinate how grouping communicate and return content finished distant presence"), but if anything, Ava is accomplishment to be open of untold writer than I suggested in my groundbreaking statement, which was supported on the relatively constricted ConnectR structure. In retrospect, this is promising a big part of the reasonableness why iRobot canceled ConnectR in the prototypal estimate in advance of what would become Ava, but I divagate




.

It seems prospective that Ava is effort to play off in a hospital scene, cruising around and letting doctors interact with patients via telepresence. This isn't the prototypic step towards robots commutation hominine doctors or anything, but if there's a medico that you deprivation to see who lives crosswise the land, telepresence is far author operative than a phone option. As far as when we can expect Ava to commencement making shelter calls, source... Telepresence is one of the few robotics markets that consumers (or runty businesses) could actually get attached in, so it's sure researchable that both of the telepresence subject embodied in Ava might eventually end up in several forgiving of Ava / ConnectR love-child. Now there's a psychogenic represent for you.
