This is a bonus post. See the previous post for today's real blog update for June 20.
One of the most confusing and cool moments at BCH so far was when I bumped into one of the hospital's robots in the hallway on our second day. It was carrying food trays. It stopped, drove around me, and continued on its merry way.
The robots are fully autonomous, with the ability to change course, maneuver around known and unknown obstacles, open doors, ride the elevator, and carry payloads to what appears to be nearly every corner of this hospital. So far we've encountered robots carrying food, mail, and patient records.
Cool!
That is so cool! I love Porter's expressions watching them.
