QUAN Envisions Lucrative Market for Personal Assistance Robots

With Quantum International supporting the effort to roll out personal assistance robots, consumers will realize that advanced ‘bots’ can revolutionize without the need forarms or legs.

VGo Communications has developed a versatile nimble robot on wheels that has enabled a seven-year-old boy affected by allergies at Buffalo, N.Y, to pursue his school education along with other children of his age. Equipped with two-way audio and video, the fully mobile VGo machine has enabled student Devon Carrow to communicate with his classmates in school assemblies, the library, and classroom.

Also, a new project from Galileo, a start-up firm, extends the potential of an iOS-controlled robotic iPhone platform that can remotely perform tilt and panning while on a video chat session. This offering will allow users to view the environment while chatting via iPhone or to track a speaker during sessions. Quantum is engaged in several contracts for bringing such robotics innovations to the market.

According to Quantum CEO Robert Federowicz, these remote, wireless devices though not humanoid in design, characterizes the potential of consumer robotics. The company anticipates demonstrating its impending innovations to its global shareholders and robotics experts.

Quantum focuses on potentially productive new robotics targets on an international basis. The company has partnered with the Poland-based prestigious Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements (PIAP). Also, Quantum recently entered into an NDA with Houston university researchers to negotiate possible collaboration based on external brain-to-computer interface technology.

Quantum anticipates rapid development as it competes along with iRobot, Intuitive Surgical, and AeroVironment.
