Robotic Assistance Devices Receives First Order of Previously Received Letter of Intent for ROAMEO Mobile Security Robot

/in


HENDERSON, Nev.–()–Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (OTCPK:AITX), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Inc. (RAD) has received an order from one of its authorized dealers for RAD’s ROAMEO 2.0 (Rugged Observation Assistance Mobile Electronic Officer). This dealer had committed to up to 20 ROAMEO units in a prior Letter of Intent (LOI).

This first of several expected ROAMEO units will be deployed within a major Hollywood studio whose name cannot be disclosed due to existing non-disclosure agreements.

“ROAMEO, being the first mobile device that is part of the RAD system of devices, is on track for many amazing deployments,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD. “Receiving this order during the first week of ROAMEO 2.0’s public tour was great. We expect to regularly announce more ROAMEO orders as we convert LOIs to firm orders and inevitably close more deals with other prestigious clients.”

ROAMEO 2.0 was unveiled to the public at last week’s NCS4 Conference in Phoenix, Arizona to an audience of spectator sport security executives. Due to the overwhelming reception of ROAMEO at NCS4, another conference at the same resort, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers requested an appearance of ROAMEO at their keynote address. Later this week, ROAMEO will be on exhibit at the IAAPA Expo, beginning November 16th in Orlando, Florida.

The company confirmed that the nation’s continuing labor shortage is forcing security services dealers and forward-thinking end users to seek alternatives to manned security guard positions. These alternatives include the use of autonomous, AI-driven robotic solutions. ROAMEO is a mobile security robot that is nearly 7 ft. tall and weighs over 700 lbs. According to the company, ROAMEO is built to autonomously patrol a property or periphery and survey its surroundings, conducting routine patrols, recording, and reporting back to the central command center.

Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD) is a high-tech start-up that delivers robotics and artificial intelligence-based solutions that empower organizations to gain new insight, solve complex security…

The world’s first robotic kitchen prepares crab bisque for Ars Technica

/in

“Are there any safety mechanisms to make sure it doesn’t accidentally blend my face if I get too close?” I asked the engineer, as I watched two humanoid robotic arms prepare a delicious crab bisque from scratch. The engineer took a moment to respond, not entirely sure of the correct answer. “Well… not really…”

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited along to a warehouse in north London to see what is being billed as “the world’s first automated kitchen.” The system, made by Moley Robotics in the UK, can only make crab bisque right now—and it requires that all of the ingredients and utensils are pre-positioned perfectly. The goal, though, is to have a consumer-ready version within two years, priced at around £10,000 ($ 14,600). The company envisions an “iTunes style library of recipes” that you can download and have your robot chef prepare.

In its current form, the Moley Robotic Kitchen is essentially two very expensive robotic arms, with two even dearer fully articulated biomimetic humanoid hands made by the Shadow Robot Company on the ends. In front of the robot is a kitchen—a sink, a stovetop, an oven, and a range of utensils, including the aforementioned blender. The ingredients are placed in bowls and cups on the worktop. Once everything is set up, an engineer simply presses “start” on the controlling PC, the robot arms whirl around for 30 minutes, and voilà: crab bisque.

Video: See Drinkmotizer, a robotic drink-mixer, make Long Island Iced Tea

Cabe Atwell

Every engineer wants to build a drink-mixing robot according to Cabe Atwell, who turned that dream into reality.

Atwell calls it the “Drinkmotizer,” or just “Drinkmo.” It was constructed with an Arduino and Raspberry Pi, liquor bottles, power tools, and a lot of dedication.

“I know what you are thinking, ‘hey, there are other drink mixing bots out there, what makes this one different?’ This one doesn’t break the bank. It’s DIY, Open, expandable. Artistically speaking, It isn’t just a nozzle that sprays alcohol at objects, it uses the actual bottle, and gravity,” Atwell wrote in a post on Element14’s community site. Atwell also wrote about the project yesterday on DesignNews.
