Meet the AROUND robot: an autonomous service robot that is capable of autonomous driving and avoiding obstacles using only low-cost sensors. It can collect items (e.g. books) from people and move them around. It takes on repetitive tasks to save staff time.
AROUND can be used to make the reading experience at bookstores more fun. It can take people to a comfortable place to browse books. When they are done, it collects the items.
