Human sized robot that can read developed

Computer scientists have created a life-sized robot that can read notice boards and signs.

Working with a PR2 robot from WillowGarage, computer scientists at the University of Pennsylvania”s GRASP Lab pulled off this remarkable feat.

The researchers successfully added the capacity for reading comprehension to an existing robot, one which had been originally built to perform myriad other tasks, reports CBS News.

The Penn team, which dubbed its reading robot “Graspy,” said the amount of text that can be read at any one time is limited, though with time they hope it extends to longer texts.
