A Promobot Robot was Killed by a Self-Driving Tesla Car

ces, ,

Promobot is a company that manufacturers autonomous service robots for business. Several hundred Promobot robots operate in 26 countries and around the world. They work as consultants, guides and administrators.

Promobot recently posted on its website that a Promobot robot was killed by a self-driving Tesla-car. You can watch a video of it on the Promobot website.

Promobot describes the situation this way:

Jan, 6 2019. A self-driving Tesla Model S hit and destroyed an autonomous Promobot the robot model v4 in Las Vegas in a car accident. The incident took place at 3000 Paradise Rd, Las Vegas.

At 7 pm the Promobot’s engineers transported robots to the Vegas’s Congress Hall to prepare their booth at the CES-2019. All the robots were moving in a line. But one of them missed its way and drove to the roadway of the street parking lot. At that moment it was hit by a self driving Tesla car.

After the clash the robot was pushed aside and fell. The car continued to move and stopped fifty meters away from the accident. The passenger who was in the car while driving explains that he decided to try a self-driving mode (Full Self-Driving Capability) and chose an idle area for this test.

According to Promobot, the result of the accident was that the Promobot robot suffered serious damage. “Parts of the body, the mechanisms of the arms, the movement platform and a head are destroyed. Now the robot is not able to take part in the exhibition and most likely there is no way to restore it.”

Fortunately, the remaining Promobot robots are unharmed. Promobot robots will be presented at CES 2019. At the exhibition you will meet robot-consultants, concierges and even a robot that recognizes emotions. In addition, every hour robots will give a dance performance at the booth.

InControl Medical Introduces Attain at CES 2019

ces, ,

InControl Medical, LLC announced that Attain, the most advanced over-the-counter device available to treat male and female incontinence and the logical first choice for treatment, will be shown at CES 2019.

FDA clearance for Attain is currently pending.

According to Herschel “Buzz” Peddicord, InControl’s founder and CEO, this revolutionary medical device is designed to help treat the approximately 87 million people suffering with stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence, and/or bowel incontinence. Attain provides muscle stimulation, visual biofeedback, and a guided exercise program to solve incontinence at the source – the muscle level.

Attain’s regular self-treatment program, in the privacy of one’s home, eliminates the need for pads, meds, surgery, or diapers. Attain combines the proven methods of electrical muscle stimulation with visual biofeedback, which studies have shown is more effective than biofeedback alone.

InControl representatives will be available at the company’s booth at CES 2019 to explain how Attain works and what makes it the most advanced device of its kind.

Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. company, revealed the configuration and full-scale vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) air taxi vehicle at CES 2019. The air taxi, named Bell Nexus, is powered by a hybrid-electric propulsion system and features Bell’s signature powered lift concept incorporating six tilted ducted fans that are designed to safely and efficiently redefine air travel.

Bell Nexus means the nexus of transport and technology and of comfort and convenience. Nexus captures the long-sought-after vision of quick air travel with a unique in-flight experience, keeping passengers connected to their lives and saving valuable time.

Team Nexus, consisting of Bell, Safran, EPS, Thales, Moog, and Garmin, are collaborating on Bell’s VTOL aircraft and on-demand mobility solutions.

Bell will lead the design, development and production of the VTOL systems. Safran will provide the hybrid propulsion and drive systems. EPS will provide the energy storage systems. Thales will provide the Flight Control Computer (FCC) hardware. Moog will develop the flight control actuation systems and Garmin will integrate the avionics and the vehicle management system (VMC).

Alongside the debut of Bell Nexus, Bell will feature the Autonomous Pod Transport (APT) – an exciting new venture for Bell. The APT family varies in payload capability that can serve many mission sets from medical, law enforcement, offshore missions, and on-demand delivery services. Bell is expanding into a new industry to show the full spectrum of their capabilities and the real-world challenges APT will address.

Bell’s Future Flight Controls simulator will be a new experience for CES participants this year. Bell is actively collecting data to help shape the future flight controls of aviation. Data from these simulators will be used to determine what actions and interfaces are intuitive to the average potential operator and what prior experiences and abilities contribute to these opinions.
