WHY THE CEILING?
Many Advantages Over Floor-Based Systems:
- Not affected by things on the floor (objects, pets, people, furniture)
- Efficient use of space (uses empty volume above ceiling)
- Unobstructed view and coverage (for sensing and surveillance)
- Floor can be used for other things (living, working, playing, more storage)
- Increased safety (out of the way, reduced chances of accidents with people)
- Access from floor to ceiling (cleaning, dusting, maintenance, storage)
- Reduced wear on floor surfaces (carpets, rugs, wood floors)
- Synergistic with floor-based robots (hand-off for deliveries, picking)
- Superior to humanoid robots (less expensive, simpler, increased access)
