Robot will help shopping @ the supermarket

Researchers from the USA have developed a robot that will make it easier to buy in the supermarket, for example, will show a deep, where it's at on the shelf is chased article. Robot Andyvision transmit real-time data to display 3D maps on hand entry - said repository "Technology Review" band of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University under the guidance of prof. Priya Narasimhan has developed a robot that designed the first version because of the great centers of fashion. Andyvision scans the shelves, generating a three-dimensional map of the contents of the shop but it also puts the 3D plan, operating in real time. Map that is displayed next to the entrance and the large clothing store by accident about to be updated every 23 hours. Information about the goods can also be sent to tablets such as iPads store service. Andyvision painting work processes scanned the shelves and at the same time uses the installed software running on a neural network, to enable independent learning, in this case to recognize the goods. Material it supports three-dimensional images and descriptions of goods, showing the range of giving to take advantage of the simple plan of the store. Andyvision reads like barcodes and RFID tags also identifies the goods after their shape, color and size. The robot is a platform to facilitate the movement of navigation and proximity sensors. when he said, "Technology Review" prof. Narasimhan, none of the technologies used in Andyvision is not a prototype or a new, and can be adapted to any type of store Robot was created after interviews with the owners of large networks, such as, how to medium size commercial buildings who say that the robot has the ability to  especially fast orientation in distributed goods. Prof. Narasimhan said that the word had determined to place the system on a mobile robot, and not constructed as a desktop system with sensors in a network of cameras. Andyvision will be tested this summer in several large stores in the United States.
