That inexpensive but well performing range finder is the centerpiece of the device and a crucial innovation in robotics, check out the discussion on Hizook for more details. Using that view of its environment, the XV-11 plots out how it will vacuum the room using a method known as SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping). SLAM’s the same technique that helps robotic cars find a parking space. [...] [...] On top of the XV-11’s half moon shaped chassis is a laser range finder which sweeps around in a full 360 ° circle.

Which got me thinking. At some point, the ambulance is going to BE the robot doctor. Pretty funny, in the RSS feed not only was there a VW ad, there was an ad for robotic prostate surgery.
