Hi All Here is a sneak peak of my latest ALTAIR robot - SCAMP is what I call a (ground based) "Assist-Drone" a new kind of (low cost) robot helper/companion for the elderly/disabled and would also be useful in Care Homes and Hospitals.

Users in wheelchairs etc can control the Assist-Drone to move around the house, keep watch over users, fetch objects and do simple cleaning tasks etc. SCAMP (telescopic) reach goes right down to ground level where the bot can pick up objects from the floor. The robot has 2 Ai Machine Learning vision sensors with 7 built-in functions: face recognition, object tracking, object recognition, line tracking, colour recognition, tag recognition and object classification.

SCAMP also doubles as a 'Telepresence robot' with a tablet face version and is Alexa enabled.

This is very cool and seems very usefull. Is it being offered in the US ? Would love to see a demo of this in real world action.

I think the key difference here is we all know T-SCAMP is real today and Teslabot is at least 20 years away from production.
