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.
