Performing daily tasks around the house can be a difficult process for those who have mobility issues or health problems, so the Labrador Retriever has been developed as a way to help provide support like a faithful service dog.
The cabinet-style robot from Labrador Systems is backed by Roomba and the Amazon Alexa Fund, and would be able to help shift items like laundry or food around the house as required. This would help those who need extra support to stay in their home longer without having to constantly rely on family, friends or caregivers for an enhanced sense of independence.
The Labrador Retriever makes use of 3D vision to get around a space and is capable of being commanded via the accompanying smartphone app or via Amazon Alexa voice control.
