Israeli startup's robot will clean your house

Unlimited Robotics' "Gary" is equipped with AI, enabling it to perform almost any task in home or office environments.

Is good help still so hard to find? Maybe not – an Israeli startup's robotic applications platform can be integrated into its first service robot, Gary.

On Oct. 12, Unlimited Robotics announced the launch of its developer's platform, Ra-Ya, which is designed to make it easier for software engineers to build robotic applications even without prior experience in hard-coded environments.

The hardware and software applications can be integrated into Gary, Unlimited Robotics' first service robot, which is scheduled to hit the market for sale to consumers, businesses, and offices in 2022.

Guy Altagar, CEO of Unlimited Robotics, explains that programming a robotics application is "not that simple for most software developers," and says that his company is "democratizing the way people can build applications for robots."

According to Altagar, "We are empowering software engineers who do not have prior experience in robot programming, especially if they have experience in JavaScript and Python, to actually create pragmatic solutions for people's homes, businesses, and offices."

Gary is designed to perform chores for home, business, and office environments. Gary can autonomously navigate and move in both familiar and new places indoors, as well as adapt to multiple types of surfaces such as grass, carpets, and tile. Gary has a top speed of 1.2 meters/sec (3.1 mph).

Gary can also fetch and carry, holding up to 5 kg (11 lbs.) of payload with its two arms, each of which is equipped with a different gripper device adapted to grabbing, holding, or squeezing. The service robot features three different infrared and in-depth cameras, which help it improve its performance through artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

"Usually, a standard robot or an electronic device can perform only one function. With our technology, we are bringing a new way to build several mechanical and operational applications – all in one device," Altagar states.

The beta version of Ra-Ya is free, and developers can integrate and offer their applications to Gary's consumers or businesses. Because the company's network features "unique" interconnectivity technology, each robot "teaches" others how to perform their next tasks better," Altagar says.

Unlimited Robotics has announced a waiting list for Gary. Anyone entering his or her name must pay a one-time fee of $99. The company plans to charge a monthly "subscription" fee for purchasers. Customers are welcome to pay in Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum.
