Matsumoto's Personal Mobility Robot, equipped with four cameras and a sensor to
recognize the user's centre of gravity, is designed to help elderly move around without pressing
buttons, using joysticks
(操纵杆)
or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.
The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor.
Other robots, such as the awardwinning “DiGRO” can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children.The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures, keeping children company while parents work.
While Chapit, a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a corporate partner many
researchers, such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects.
“We have developed a robot that can assist many people, but we still haven't found a sponsor,” said Matsumoto, who added that the cost of the machine, if massproduced, would be comparable to that of a car. “In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project,”
he said.
