Do you often forget where you put your belongings? If yes… then you do not need to worry anymore. Efforts are being made to remove this problem of humans with the help of technology. Yes, according to the latest reports, a new robot has been developed by a team of researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada. This robot is programmed with AI technology, which helps humans in finding lost items. Let’s know all the details related to this robot.
This robot will help these people
In the latest report of Economictimes, information about this new robot developed has been given. According to the report, the team of researchers at Canada’s University of Waterloo has specially created this AI technology based robot to help people suffering from dementia. Tell me, in dementia disease, people often forget to keep some important things somewhere, like their watch, glasses and books etc. In many cases, people forget the events of their lifetime and the people associated with their life. However, one of the early symptoms of dementia is forgetting to put small things somewhere.
To help people suffering from dementia at the initial stage, the University of Waterloo team has prepared this robot equipped with artificial intelligence. Ali Ayub, a post-doctoral researcher involved in this team, said that its long-term effects would be quite exciting.
How will this robot find lost things?
The robot has been developed with a camera feature that stores video of anything in its memory. This robot creates a memory log for everything. For this, the team has used an ‘object-detection algorithm’ in the robot, which helps it detect, track and remember things. To find the missing things, the robot locates the missing items with the help of the stored videos. Not only this, it records the object along with the date and time, so finding things will be much easier.
Testing of this robot has been done, in which the team found that its results are correct to a large extent. At the same time, a user study is about to be conducted, in which it will be tested first on people without dementia and then it will be tested on people suffering from dementia.
