Robotic Co-Worker Baxter Joins Factory Line
From BBC Technology:
A humanoid robot designed to work safely alongside people on factory production lines has been unveiled in the US.
Priced at $22,000 (£13,500), Baxter will go on sale in October.
Its makers, Rethink Robotics, say it can apply common sense, adapt to its environment and be trained in less than 30 minutes to complete specific tasks, by workers without robotic expertise.
Currently factory robots tend to work separately to humans, often in cages.
Rodney Brooks, Rethink Robotics founder and former director of the MIT Computer and Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, said he hoped Baxter represented a “new concept in manufacturing”.
