Herb: Robot Butler

Herb is a robot from the Intel Personal Robotics Lab and a research platform for Carnegie Mellon’s Quality of Life Technology Research Center. During Intel Pittsburgh’s 2010 open house, Herb greeted guests by demonstrating his abilities to pick up different bottles and cans, travel while avoiding obstacles, offer the object to someone and then put it back or in a recycle bin. During the video you can see how the arm is able to be manipulated by someone and then it resumes doing the task it was doing. Her
