Cicerobot, Your Next Museum Guide
Roland Piquepaille writes "In a brief article, ANSA reports about a robot which will guide visitors in the Agrigento museum in Sicily. Cicerobot is 1.5-meter high and is equipped with wheels, a keyboard, a monitor, video camera and sensors. As many objects in this archaeological museum are very old and precious, a special emphasis was given to navigation. So far, Cicerobot only talks Italian, but it should be soon fluent in other languages. And as it is able to collect data from different sensor locations, it also plays the role of a security guard. Finally, it will also offer virtual tours of the museum via Internet."
Please follow me to the gift shop. You have 20 seconds to comply.
Religion for nerds. Stuff that really matters
Hmm. In classical latin, this would be pronounced "Kick-a-robot". Is that really the message they want to send?
No priceless work of art is safe from Museum Dalek!!!
