Baxter (robot)
Baxter is an industrial robot built by Rethink Robotics, a start-up company founded by Rodney Brooks. It was introduced in September 2012. Baxter is a 3-foot tall (without pedestal; 5'10" - 6'3" with pedestal), two-armed robot with an animated face. It weighs 165 lbs without the pedestal and 306 lbs with the pedestal.〔http://www.rethinkrobotics.com/products/baxter/〕 It is used for simple industrial jobs such as loading, unloading, sorting, and handling of materials. Brooks stated that Baxter was designed to perform the dull tasks on a production line.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20800118〕 It is intended to be sold to small and medium-sized companies.

Its face is an animated screen that allows Baxter to express itself by making several facial expressions. Its face can show what it is focused on, and its current status. Baxter can even express its confusion when something isn't right. Baxter also has sensors surrounding its head that allow him to sense people nearby. The sensors around its head also give Baxter the ability to adapt to its environment, unlike other industrial robots which will either continue to do their one task repeatedly, or will shut down and stop working at the slightest change in their environment. For example, Baxter is adaptive enough to know that it cannot continue with its job if it drops a tool, whereas some robots will simply continue to attempt to perform their job despite lacking the proper tools.〔http://www.technologyreview.com/news/429248/this-robot-could-transform-manufacturing/〕 Baxter runs on the open-source Robot Operating System on a regular, personal computer which is embedded in its chest.〔http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/513746/baxter-the-blue-collar-robot/〕 Baxter can be placed on a four-legged pedestal with wheels to become mobile. Baxter also has extra sensors in its hands that allow it to pay very close attention to detail.
