Robot Barkeeper

"Personal Robotics" is a joint project between CMU, Intel Research Pittsburgh, Intel Research Seattle and the University of Washington. The ultimate goal is to make robots more human-like vs. those in a factory, able to assist and deal within uncertain and unstructured environments like the home. The video below is showing the demo of the Robot "waiter" (or robotic segway) going around the room, avoiding obstructions on it's own and allows you to set cups on the tray. The waiter delivers to the "barkeeper" (or robotic arm) so it can grasp the cups and place each one appropriately in the dishwasher. This is a significant step in personal robotics because in every demo variables change, and the robot figures it out on it's own. (there's no human behind it instructing each move)

Not really. The research is actually conducted at Carnegie Mellon University, where Intel actually has an on campus research lab.
