Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a robot with artificial memory that can help find lost objects, particularly benefiting people with dementia.
The companion robot is programmed with episodic memory, allowing it to detect, track, and log specific objects in its camera view through stored video.
Users can select objects to track and search for them, with the robot indicating the last observed location.
System's high accuracy confirmed in tests & future studies to include users without disabilities & those with dementia.
