CallHerVesta (OP) User ID: 74061450 United States 04/23/2018 04:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] It's not completely clear what the robot would do, but the project title Vesta gives some clues, because it's named after the Roman goddess of the hearth, home and family. People working on the project say that the Vesta robot could serve as a 'mobile Alexa' that follows consumers around to parts of their home where they don't have an Alexa-enabled device, Bloomberg noted. Amazon is expected to test the Vesta robot among employees by the end of 2018, but consumers could get their hands on the device as soon as 2019. VentureBeat: [link to venturebeat.com (secure)] According to the report, while Vesta’s exact purpose is not yet fully known, signs point to it acting as a mobile AI assistant, providing aid by accompanying users to places in their homes that don’t have Alexa devices. Vesta prototypes can apparently navigate through homes using autonomous car technologies such as cameras and computer vision, though the robots’ sizes and locomotion systems are not specified. Amazon’s Lab126 consumer hardware R&D division has hired robotics industry mechanical engineers to aid in the project and is still hiring sensor engineers and robotics software engineers. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72948601 United States 04/23/2018 05:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What kind of fools buy this crap? Alexa and shite like this is only for the most stupid of people. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76500342 From what I can tell those not interested in having this sort of tech in our homes are quickly becoming the Minority! No, the majority of homes are still not connected to some sort of AI assistant, many are still without even internet. I know my parents aren't, their friends aren't, majority of their neighbors aren't. When your life is a little more simple and you've lived your entire life without it, there simply isn't a desire to get it. Possibly in the younger generation it will be a majority, but I'm 36 and we've not allowed it in our home and never will, and my kids aren't being exposed to it. They will make the choice later in life obviously, but they'll be well versed in the positives and negatives of this sort of technology and they can make an educated choice on whether they wish to destroy their privacy as adults. |
