Thanks to a new equipment from a group of researchers, now children with cognitive and motor-skill disabilities can enjoy the technology smart devices in a whole new way. The Android tablethas been combined with a small humanoid robotand one can train this robot to learn and do several new tasks. This new system will work as a wonderful rehabilitation tool for these kids.
A professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Ayanna Howard who works at the school of electrical and computer engineering spoke about this robot which has been built in a way that it can easily learn all the tasks by simply watching as it has the ability to understand how the tablet works.
Now kids even get the chance to play the hugely popular game, the Angry Birds by teaching the robot by just putting the finger on the tablet and then dragging the bird across the screen. The robot on the other hand learns how to do it by taking snapshots and storing the same in its memory. The robot has the ability to even understand the fingers that are used for various options in the game like start and stop.
The smart robot can also understand the way the objects move on the screen and even know the scores at all times.
