I too am surprised at the diverse selections from CES. I always thought it was just high-end electronics, and never realized they also had toys and TVS.

I think the Groove X Lovot would be a good thing for many autistic children, but the robots also need to be durable. My autistic cousin would probably cuddle the robot 23 hours of the day, but it only takes 1 tantrum for him to fling the robot to the ground or off the wall. Robots for kids need to be durable, and I am not sure how strong they will be with their sensitive electronics.

I work with autistic kids and am confident that some of them would have a marked improvement in behavior if they had a Groove X Lovot to play with.

One of my clients, a young boy, constantly wants to talk about license plates on car. Non-stop every day that is what he is focused on. If he can talk about license plates with a robot that will not only listen but interact with him on it, then it would keep him happy and let the rest of us have a bit of our sanity back.

The Robo-Shark is designed for professional use. There are countless things that can be done with the Robo-Shark. It can explore and map the sea, track sealife migration, photograph underwater, etc. It could also be used to transport smaller items such as lifesaving medications to a person in need on an Island. In Alaska, there are many smaller islands. If a person lives on a remote Island and runs out of Insulin, they could, in theory, use the CB radio to call the pharmacy, and the could have the Coast Guard send out a Robo-Shark to take the medicine to the Island for the person. What will be exciting is to see how researchers use the Robo-Shark. I bet some Universities will implement this in an attempt to look for fossils at the bottom of lake beds.

RoboSea has other products they have developed also. One of them is the RoboFish-Plus. The RoboFish is a robotic fish but can be used to monitor water quality and take samples.

The RoboSea Robo-Shark can be used in salt water. the RoboSea Robo-Shark is actually designed specifically for working in the Ocean. It can easily handle fresh or salt water.

I hope the obstacle avoidance is top-notch on this, because it is very heavy and large, and with a top speed of 10 knots it could severely injure or even kill a human if there was a collision with a person swimming.

It should be fine to leave the shark robot in the water, but for long-term storage, it’d be better to store it dry.

No, there definitely is not enough technology. Yes, some tech products need to be limited in use in areas such as Yellowstone, but we definitely do not have enough robots. The same arguments used to be used when they were debating if and how to handle vehicle traffic back in Yellowstone of if it should remain for horses only. Society evolves and with that comes some bad things, but also a lot of good. If someone is mentally ill and severely depressed and something like the Groove X Lovot helps that person to become happier and not commit suicide, then that is a good thing.

People need to quit being gatekeepers and learn more about other people, tech, and the World at large.

I am excited for every piece of tech to show at CES this year. That doesn’t mean that I want every item displayed, but I can see the future. A simple cuddly robot like the Groove X Lovot can help inspire and drive future technological developments. Every robot, no matter how large or small, has the benefit of aiding mankind.

Americans are fat. Period. The only way to lose fat is to eat fewer calories then you burn off each day. If you want to eat more, then you need to do exercise or other physical activities that will cause you to burn more calories. Robots or not, fat people will continue getting fatter until they decide to get out of the house and actually do something physical.
