Rovio Uses NorthStar 2.0 System
Posted on Jan 18, 08 05:52 AM PDT
The Rovio robot is pretty smart by itself as it is capable of being aware of its environment courtesy of the NorthStar 2.0 system that does a faux 'satellite' triangulation in order to triangulate its current position. Not only that, the Rovio's navigation system also shares similarities to GPS, Radar and auto pilot features that have been crammed into a single system. It's owner will be able to designate a route for it, where it can then perform tasks unsupervised. It also comes with WiFi connectivity and a webcam that allows it to be set to "patrol mode" which makes the average human all the more lazy as one can then scout through various parts of the house without getting up from a chair. The Rovio will retail for $300.
