Robotics business trekking forward


"The prototype robot is low to the ground and moves about as fast as a person walks, Parrish said. It's built to go over stuff, not for speed, he said, but it's still strong enough to tow his 2,200-pound truck an inch at a time on level ground.

Parrish said he built his Explorbot from off-the-shelf parts. He wired a Tablet PC to a laptop stand just like the one in his office, attached a high-powered Web camera and mounted the whole thing on four knobby wheels powered with strong batteries. He controls the robot with a laptop and a wireless networking card.

"I want to take serious robotics and take it to a point where it can be used in mass quantities by the public," Parrish said. " (Source: George A. Chidi, Rocky Mount Telegram)
