Seriously, until if we had a cat, it'd be nervous right now. It would need to learn Kung Fu pronto!

Because robots, like em or not, are your future. They do amazingly boring tasks perfectly, indefinitely, so you don't have to. We think automation is exciting and mechanized automation plays a big role in that future. We also have project concepts that will rely heavily on our durable new friends. We'll share more on that when we can.

For now know that this particular robot is solving a number of real-world supply chain issues including handling a dynamic range of pallet objects and addressing potential impending recall issues by simplifying the warehousing architecture. Simple and beautiful.

A quick review: The thinking behind this system is very good. The biggest challenge is the complexity and number of commands. It is ultimately an 'expert' system that needs metaphors to aid training new users. The "finger shadow" is neat but a cheat. I wish we could just forget about contextual menus and focus on contextual commands. Thanks for pushing the ball Microsoft!
