Romo is an iPhone on wheels. Just like the PhoneSats and Quadcopter controllers, when you add prosthetics to a smartphone, you have a very capable robot, satellite or toy, with most of the cost of the control systems and user interface relegated to the phone.

Keller’s short TED Talk came out today. Romo Arigato, Mr. Roboto.

I will be speaking on Robots in the Workplace at SRI on Thursday.

    What these robots need is an AI Mind with artificial intelligence thinking in English or in Russian.

    They had a couple of these scooting around the SRI after party, and I found that I had to keep the camera pointed horizontal to the ground to get around and avoid hitting people’s shoes and boots, but then I had to look up to see where I was… and right up someone’s skirt… Oops! Luckily she was an employee.
