This video showcases a CareBot traversing a close-quarters environment at a Marriott conference center.
This video shows a GeckoSystems' Carebot, equipped with a pair of Microsoft Kinect sensors, navigating through a narrow passageway cluttered with various obstacles. This represents the worst case for in-home navigation.
Kinect processing is handled by a piece of software called GeckoImager, running on a dual core 1.66GHz Intel Atom motherboard. The navigation is handled by two other GeckoSavants, GeckoNav and GeckoSuper, running on a separate dual core Atom machine. Both computers were located on the robot during the video.
