background story about SRV-1 on www.robots-dreams.com
One of the first SRV-1 test sites is located in Japan, and the tester, Lem Fugit, is the publisher of a very popular robotics web log called "Robots Dreams". Lem has a wealth of background experience and knowledge about the history and technology of robotics, as well as a passion for the subject, and he's provided a lot of helpful feedback and guidance on the SRV-1 program.
Shortly after receiving the SRV-1 for testing, Lem sent us some photos of the robot following (chasing) his dog around the house. As it turns out, that was the very first test we did when we first got an SRV-1 up and running. I don't know that dog tracking is a real market, but it seems to work well as a proof-of-concept.
Yesterday, Lem published an interesting web log entry about the SRV-1 -

describing some of the background behind the creation of the SRV-1, and comments on future possibilities. We look forward to his future comments and feedback.
