...it is a verbal interface for the carebot and a great upgrade for the safepath wheelchair.
it is true AI with natural language processing (NLP) using forward chaining if/then/else written in a mature AI language, prolog.
the microphone "array" is super cool, too. it improves the signal to noise dramatically and enables the voice recognition software to recognize words such that the NLP of AI engine can reliably "recognize" predetermined phrases and/or words.
the family gets to customize this interface and tailor it exactly for the needs and benefits of their beloved family member.
so the voice synthesis must be clear and loud enough to be readily heard and understood by the carereceiver.
wow!
not a simple system. less complex than the safepath tech, but...
and then there is geckoscheduler...
wonder when ZMP is going to evaluate the full blown boogie? a carebot?
prototypes tend to be delicate. shipping could be a problem-
in conclusion, geckochat is fundamental and I don't see verbal interaction, for monologues and/or dialogues, on anyone else's personal companion robot.
gosy has much, much more than safepath to license-
