AI, like gosy's, is very 21st century-
those longing for long ago simpler days no doubt simply cannot believe that personal companion robots, like the carebot, could possibly enable grandma to stay out of a smelly, bankrupt nursing home.
one civilizations tech is the old generations' "magic," and hee haw that any "new" tech is not needed or possible or the inventor is insane or no one can afford it or something else will work just as good.
they might as well be hee hawing that microwave ovens halt pacemakers when they insist that gosy's breakthrough tech is no good and just a front for a "pump."
AI like gosy's is just way too advanced for most folks to believe such is possible.
sort of like, "if man was meant to fly, God would have given man wings." we need this new home appliance so we can take better care of our families. refrigerators, electric stoves, microwaves, etc. are all wonderful time and labor saving home appliances.
that is why Bill Gates insists "A Robot in Every Home" in his SciAm article several years ago!
not mo,
his!
mech
wonder what the criteria will be for the carebot beta testers?
family is always first, so probably more family members of employees of gosy. that makes lots of "logistical" sense to me.
then probably family members of suppliers and large investors.
bet some double and triple digit millionaires would rather have a carebot following them around than a "live-in" invading their "space."
that's part of what makes the carebot so great-
family members get to honor the dignity and privacy of their beloved next of kin.
anyone that has genuine, heartfelt concern for family wants the carebots to be sold by the tens, if not hundreds, of thousands!
because nursing homes suck!
Home Sweet Home-
technology should make life better!
for "family first!"

gosy tech for...
...commercial security could produce licensing revenues sooner than anything else-
high levels of actionable situational awareness is what it is all about-
gosy has that capability!
lots of markets in front of gosy-
the tech is that robust, portable, maintainable, and extensible!
jmo-

nursing homes are two edged sword-
on one hand they are very expensive.
"slums" are $3.5-4K per month
national average is $4.5K per month
the economics are so bad that 50% of all nursing homes in FL are in bankruptcy-
now for the sharper edge of the sword-
there is a huge emotional trauma to the beloved parents that sends them into depression and they die in 1-2 years!
whereas, staying in their own home of 20-30+ years, they may live another 5-10 years!
so what does the family, adult children, want?
to keep their beloved parent as safe and comfortable such that their twilight years can be as good as they can be-
nursing homes "tend" to be dumping grounds for family members that are abandoned by their children-
hence the extraordinary means of keeping grandma at home as long as possible.
I do not see the carebot eliminating nursing homes, but putting off that incarceration as long as is possible-
those that have had direct eldercare responsibility understand the foregoing very, very well!
so tech is great from GOSY to put "family first"

gosy's safepath wheelchairs have some...
neat tech, too!
they prove that gosy's tech can be migrated to platforms not of their design.

I recall reading that Spencer has said on numerous occasions that he expected technology licensing revenues to precede revenues from product sales.

since gosy can do both, cool!
less risk for the investor with multiple markets with the same tech!
with this independent, third party validation of their safepath technologies by ZMP, I suspect the basebot will be a "show pony" in Japan for interested licensees in Japan, China, South Korea, etc.
no doubt Hajime Yasumatsu is working very hard to have lots of pony shows!

gosy is ready to manufacture and market...
...their personal companion robots, the carebot.
no one in the world has sold any personal companion robots, at all, much less as advanced as the carebot.
hence, gosy has "first mover" advantage in a HUGE market.
Spencer is to be applauded for his many years preparing for this "family first" marketplace.
iRobot's AVA?
just a very, very expensive "software development" platform according to their website-
no voice synthesis, speech recognition, or ability to do dialogues and/or monologues, either-
jmo-
mech
another nifty gosy tech is...
...geckoprox!
basically prox is a series of passive infra red (PIR) proximity detectors that enable the carebot to "watch" grandma while she is sleeping and see if she is getting out of bed, at say 2AM.
prox talks to spio, spio talks to super and super tells chat to ask grandma if she is okay!
if the family wants to know that grandma is up in the middle of the night, they can be notified all kinds of ways: verbal, phone, email, pager, or whatever-
and then view her using the carebot's webcam!
ain't it awesome?
grandma safe and NOT in a nursing home-
I think that the Japanese are having difficulty in getting their "partner robots" accepted by little old ladies because they haven't enabled their personal robots to interact politely.
that's what the numerous AI savants that gosy has developed does!
jmo-

gosy's tactile shroud technology...
...is totally cool!
the covering of the carebot is thermoformed plastic I believe.
it hangs down from the shoulders on 2 perpendicular axes. that gives it easy movement in any direction! all 360 degrees-
now comes the clever part, they use a 2 axis solid state accelerometer to "locate" a hit or brush of any place on the shroud.
this tactile shroud subsystem talks to the geckospio. the spio then uses TCP/IP to inform the geckosuper as to where and how hard the shroud was hit or touched. the super then does the appropriate forwarding to nav, and even chat!
chat can now babble:
"ah been hit on ma arse!" ha!
the carebot does have a "bustle" LOL-
yup, gosy's tactile shroud tech is truly sick-
jmo-
mech
geckochat is really extraordinary...
...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-
I agree with Spencer, I think licensing revenues will easily precede product sales-

caravan, you are sooooo right!
gosy's timeline chronicles 15 years of mobile robot r&d. looks like they started in a garage like apple did!
15 years means this is very important to Spencer.
he has probably been "doing robots" most of his life.
anyone that suggests he has has been doing robots for 15+ years just to "pump" must be trapped in some kind of delusional state-
the early prototypes are naked!
and the early videos are so cool!
and the charts that tell the story of the tech, I see on no other robot website!
wasn't Spencer past vp and pres of the atlanta robot club back in the mid '80's?
someday Spencer may be referred to as the grandfather of personal robots-
didn't he do robots in high school?
gosy has real tech and real markets.
the timeline is one more "reason to believe" that Spencer is not going to damage 1300+ stockholders due to some judge's mistaken belief that low level magistrate courts can over rule FEDERAL regs-
those that don't learn from their mistakes, like Wallace and MacLeod, here, are doomed to repeat them-
15+ year timeline of pictures and 120+ videos in public venues says it all!
jmo-

I have studied AI and mobile robots for many years.
I have yet to see any company, university, or hobbyist come close to any of the many proprietary technologies that gosy has.
the loonish self important Wallace and MacLeod must be beyond desperate to constantly berate Spencer and his great work.
how could anyone attack someone who has demonstrably, at great personal cost, put "family first?"
I can think of no sane, or rational reason-
gosy's tech is really fantastic.
looks like the information superhighway is about to have a couple of new grease spots.
one named MacLeod

here is some proof of gosy's tech:
the Japanese witnessed this public, unstaged demo, too:
http://geckosystems.com/timeline/?year=2011&video=GeckoSystemsMultiVideo.mov
this was done at the Atlanta marriott?
for visiting Japanese businessmen?
wasn't this demo arranged by Hajime Yasumatsu?
great demo and great work!
BTW, aren't demo videos always "staged?" I mean you have to have a video camera "staged" and "ready."
and who wants to see elderly grandma first thing in the morning on a live streaming video? not only an invasion of privacy, but what loving adult children would allow such invasion of their mother's feeble state?
gosy has great proprietary tech and HUGE markets!
especially in family care!
jmo-

gosy also has real tech for...
...commercial security that could produce licensing revenues sooner than anything else-
high levels of actionable situational awareness is what it is all about-
gosy has that capability!
lots of markets in front of gosy-
the tech is that robust, portable, maintainable, and extensible!
jmo-
mech
I guesstimated the basebot cost to be...
$10K, easy. this big marketing investment should also include Hajime Yasumatsu's retainer for his missionary sales work.
I will study the carebot prototypes and see what my guesstimate is there.
probably a lot more!
more compters, voice tracker microphone, ssl stereo amp, more IR, PIR added, sonar added, geckoorient, tactile shroud-
I see very few custom boards. so most are COTS. investors gotta love that!
takes a lot of tech to be capable of cost effective beneficial care for our beloved, but frail, family members.
btw, the carebot does not fall over. the 50-60 lb. battery is between the "ankles" and keeps it "anti-tipover."
really impressed with that independent third party validation of gosy's basebot tech by ZMP.
more to come, I suspect-

this obsession of Wallace's with Spencer is surreal!
talk about exaggerated, dysfunctional self importance!
wow! Wallace is in complete denial about the value of gosy's tech.
as an attorney, no surprise that he sees the business world so incompletely.
but his obsession to destroy Spencer and gosy is just that, an irrational obsession-
all it will take is one contract to cause gosy's pps to skyrocket and no doubt Spencer has several irons in the fire.
Wallace seems more intent on inflicting pain, sadist that he is, than he is on settling with gosy.
on and on and on he goes-
I did say obsessed!
gosy's tech is extraordinary, so of course Wallace and his BFF, MacLeod, decry the tech and huge markets.
so let's talk the biz, tech, and stock-
not about some obsessed idiot that worked for gosy long ago and thought he was "special" and refused to take stock like all the other employees.
Wallace no doubt loves the attention he gets for being a sociopath. generally, I believe sociopaths end up in prison for their lack of true human understanding-
meanwhile, gosy is a tremendous opp since Wallace and MacLeod have depressed gosy's pps for now...
soon, I predict, Wallace and MacLeod will be large grease spots on the information super highway!

as an astute technologist...
...and someone that has genuine, heartfelt family values...
...I am sure you understand that gosy has a "suite" of mobile robot solutions that in "aggregate" enable personal companion mobile robots suitable for eldercare.
the Japanese government is going to pay 90% of robotic assisted care for their elderly beginning in 2015. they have millions and millions of little old ladies deserving of safety, honor, dignity, independence, and security.
that is HUGE!
I wish my parents were still living. they would have loved a carebot to keep them out of an assisted care facility or nursing home.
the choice is obvious- I would rather have a robot following me around nagging me to take my medicine and allowing my beloved relatives and friends to watch me over the internet than be in ANY assisted care or nursing home. I suspect most folks feel the same way.
nursing homes suck!
so I really am very appreciative of the Spencers' 15 years of hard work in developing the carebot!
gotta raise funds for manufacturing and marketing!

you're right!
gosy's proof that their geckonav can automatically self-navigate mobile platforms not of their design is very significant.
for example, wheelchair manufacturers now know that if gosy can do it with a rather dated power wheelchair design, that contemporary design power wheelchairs are an easy upgrade to "safepath enabled" by gosy-

it also means "re-usable"

and not a singular solution
the fact that gosy migrated their nav from their proprietary platform to a commercial off the shelf Imasen wheelchair is big news.
I suspect the last thing that Imasen ever expected was for gosy's AI to guide their chair better than a person. this reality is got to be very, very difficult for the traditional wheelchair folks to accept...
so now any "decent" power wheelchair can be upgraded to safepath
and wheelchair bases can be cost effectively used for power and locomotion in the professional healthcare and commercial security markets.

Frost and Sullivan like it:

orient "sensor fuses" dead reckoning, compass and accelerometer to achieve high accuracy, no accumulated error and low cost.
why? to have a very low cost for the robot to know which direction it is facing. like an internal compass, but more accurate since magnetic compasses "dance" at times due to metal structures, etc.
