Baxter Robot Helping Blind People in Urban Settings
From: Engineering TV - 08/26/2015

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's TechBridgeWorld are using Baxter
to explore how technology - and specifically, robots - can help the blind and
visually impaired more effectively navigate urban environments. For people
with sight, the necessary tasks associated with urban living such as crossing
the street, sorting bus tickets, or finding the right storefront, are
accomplished without a second thought. Innovations using collaborative
robotics can make these tasks just as easy for the blind population.
