from Wikipedia
The RB5X is a personal robot manufactured by RB Robot Corporation of Golden, Colorado.[1]
A cylinder-shaped robot with an optional arm, and a transparent, dome-shaped top, RB5X has an RS-232 communications interface and is programmable in TinyBASIC[2] or Savvy.[1] It was first released circa 1983. Its inputs include eight bumper panels, a photodiode and a sonic transducer. The robot learns from experience.[3]
The RB5X was an early commercial implementation of the concept of autonomous mobile robotics (AMR) proposed and demonstrated by author/inventor, David L. Heiserman[4][5][6] in 1976.
