New robot can carry items

Five Elements Robotics has created a robot that follows a person around and carries items.

Budgee™ is easy to operate, and portable, the company said.  It can act as a “personal assistant.” The robot weighs less 20 pounds and can carry up to 50 pounds. It can be controlled through a smartphone or tablet.

Customization options are numerous, including being able to change the robot’s eye color.
