The age of androids and robots to assist humans has been heard of and with news that GeckoSystems has unveiled its own offering in the Carebot MSR 3.87, it looks like we are slowly advancing towards the future where both humans and robots will exist side by side.

“The new CareBot MSR 3.87 can automatically watch over grandma or the kids, patrol your home, and/or run errands for 8 to 14 hours continuously without recharging. This capability, along with GeckoTrak(tm) and internet-based video conferencing, enables our CareBot to perform like a family caregiver, enabling them watch over their loved ones, even when they can’t be there physically.”

GeckoSystems recently developed GeckoTrak(tm) hardware and software that enables the CareBot to automatically follow grandma from room to room. GeckoChat tells her when it’s time to take her medications, and can even remind her when her favorite television shows are coming on. GeckoChat is a specially designed assistive technology that enables caregivers to teach the CareBot what to say, and when.

The foregoing combination of sensor-fused technologies brings a new level of cost effective situational awareness to their adaptive, intelligent, multi-tasking personal care mobile robots. Situational awareness is the environmental understanding resulting from blended sensor systems and the common sense implications of those combined perceptions that enables the CareBot to “know” (i.e. be “situationally aware”), for example, when someone should be contacted immediately about the care receiver’s current condition.
