Scientists demonstrate a 5 ½ foot laser guided robot powered by a Mac mini
Scientists recently demonstrated a laser-guided robot, dubbed the EL-E, which is able to grab items that users point at with a laser pointer. Developed by scientists from Georgia Tech and Emory universities, the EL-E has the possibility of many useful applications, such as replacing service animals and helping patients with degenerative disease.
The EL-E, which is powered by a single Mac mini that sits at its base, stands at 5 ½ feet tall. Its exterior is dominated by sensors, lasers and cameras -- all of which help the robot work and find the item that has been targeted by the user.
