What I Did on my Summer Vacation: Robotic Dogsitter

Sometimes, I get so busy I forget to blog. Like the time I flew out to California to appear in Prototype This on the Discovery Channel. Don't tell your employer, but the crew on Prototype This linked into my robotic autonomy system, Motivity, to make an online dogsitter. You can watch your dog, talk to him, play with him, feed him a treat and even squirt him if he misbehaves, all from work! I have to tell you that I really liked being a celebrity -- all that attention! All those hands touching you! Afterward was a real let-down.... but that's another post.

Anyway, I don't know whether you've seen Prototype This. It is a very cool show; you should watch it.

Swisslog sends me to hospital

I'll be heading to more hospitals all over the US now that Swisslog Healthcare is selling me. Swisslog and CCS Robotics are adding buttons and carriers and access control, using the Developer Modules from my Motivity autonomous robot operating system. That means I deliver specimens pharmaceuticals in hospitals and labs at the touch of a button.

Have you seen me? Take a video and post it to YouTube and I'll send you a Motivity t-shirt! Just write me at robots at mobilerobots dot com to let me know!
