To control the mobile robot has several ways. The most common
– remote control by remote. Future action carefully programmed the robot with
the possibility of rapid adjustment. Speed, meeting with obstacles, with the
various objects – all of this thought over software developers trying to predict
the behavior of the robot in a particular situation.


Robot Cody (Cody), established Technical Laboratory Robotics Healthcare of
Georgia (Georgia Tech’s Healthcare Robotics Lab) (USA), differs in this regard
so that it can be taught to move along a certain route and carry out certain
actions without resorting to programming. Enough to take the robot arm and to go
where he will have to walk. Robot Cody can remember the route to repeat after
him. During tests at the hospital – namely to help the medical staff was created
robot Cody – he was taught to focus on the corridors of the hospital nurses.
Look at the video, as it was.

In the opinion of the developers of such a way to adapt the robot to the
specific conditions of his workplace will avoid many complications. Robot Cody
created on the basis of mobile base Segway RMP 50 and has quite an impressive
ability. Thus, the robot knows how to independently open the doors, desk drawers
or cabinet doors open wide.

Develop interface for the robot Cody belongs Tiffeni Chen (Tiffany Chen) and
Professor Charlie Camps (Charlie Kemp). He was recently presented at the
conference Human-Robot Interaction (HRI2010), which was held in mid-March in
Japan.
