IBM Robotic Coworker Will Help Engineers Fix Broken Systems
April 25th, 2013Via: Network World:
When it comes to fixing broken systems, especially in remote locations, engineers could soon turn to a new mobile robotic system IBM is developing that could help them more easily find the broken equipment, offer up information about the system and provide real-time visual support from supervising experts.
The mobile maintenance, repair and operations prototype includes an application that lets a supervisor monitor an engineer’s progress towards the maintenance site, and a robotic arm coupled with a camera system, a microphone and laser pointer.
