The team of researchers from the University of the Basque Country, under the leadership of Basilio Sierra is working on a robot that can orient themselves in space. Tartalo able to identify various places and ask permission before it will enter.

We are accustomed to seeing robots zaprogrammirovanyh for specific tasks. For example, robotic hands are well known in the industry. What's surprising is to see a robot walking without a support team of people and the decision independently, without hints. A few years ago at the University of the Basque Country was developed Marisorgin - robot for delivery by regular mail and now Tartalo was included in the draft.

Those who work on the third floor of Faculty of Computer Science are used in every day to meet Tartalo in the corridors, to meet, but not the face. This 1.5 meter intelligent machine avoids obstacles in its path through sensors that are installed around its body: radars, infrared sensors and laser emitters. For example, lasers measure the distance from the robot to any object within a radius of 180 degrees. It should be noted that the team Basilio Sierra did not collect a robot, they have just acquired and developed, increasing its capacity.

With these sensors and a computer, which is the brain robot, Tartalo was able to move from one place to another without problems. The research team of the Department of Computational Science and Artificial Intelligence seeks to ensure that a robot can go anywhere where he would say and perform some task.
