Laser radar robots will transform daily life

A robot took over duties of guiding visitors to exhibition booths at the China (Shanghai) International Technology Fair recently. The "host" had no one in the background moving its parts by remote control. This robot is smart enough to "see" its surroundings because of laser radar embedded in the machine's software. Shanghai-based Slamtec manufactured the robot. The laser radar allows the robot to scan its surroundings in fractions of a second.
