Robust AI's New Warehouse Robot Detects Human Movements—Creating Safer Interaction Between Man and Machine

Robust AI's new warehouse robot was named Carter. Based on how it works and its efficiency as a mobile bot, it can actually make machine-to-man interactions safer and more effective.

The effort made by the new artificial intelligence firm, founded by Rodney Brooks, is a big deal in the rising tech industry as more and more companies add various robots in the facilities to work with real human employees.

Brooks, an Australian robot expert, said their new robot helper could detect real-time human movements/language. Now, here's how it can revolutionize warehouses.

According to The Wired's latest report, Carter is a mobile warehouse robot that can read human body language, allowing it to work with people around it efficiently.

"As a CMR (Collaborative Mobile Robot), Carter works around people without changing the environment, allowing for fluent coordination, while increasing the engagement and productivity of people," said Robust AI via its official blog post.

Thanks to its abilities, the AI firm's new mobile warehouse machine can maximize the teamwork between humans and robots.

Experts even claimed that the creation of Carter could encourage man-to-machine working environments, where new robots do not actually replace real employees.

How Carter Works

When Robust AI introduced Carter, the artificial intelligence company also unveiled its so-called Grace, a new software suite.

Carter and Grace work together, combining human-centered design, robotics, and AI all together in one machine.

Aside from Grace, advanced cameras and a periscope sensor were also integrated into Carter, allowing the new mobile machine to identify the movements made by human employees around it efficiently.

Once these camera sensors detect human body language, the Grace software will process it. The data will then be used by Carter, allowing it to know what to do to help human staff.

Aside from Carter, there are also other new robots that various tech firms launched.

Previously, Amazon's autonomous warehouse robot workers arrived after the retailer's employees won unionization.

Meanwhile, a new wearable exomuscle vest, which can help patients with spinal cord injuries, was also revealed.
