Trower, who's working on Microsoft's own software platform for robotic systems, says this kind of PC bot would serve as a multiapplication communication and work device, but it would have microphones and touch-screens for interacting with humans and the same adaptable and moving form factor as a small robot.
Human-sized, it has an expressive face, two robotic arms and an omnidirectional platform, allowing it to travel alone, avoid obstacles, navigate in its environment and especially interact with people and objects.
It will follow the routine established in May of parking itself just below the platform so that it can be grabbed by a robotic arm and pulled into a berthing port.
