New Inventory bot?
As I spend more and more time on Rubi-ka, there is one inevitable thing that happens to all of us. Eventually, our banks overload and spill into our apartments and organizational headquarters. I know for me, it is extremely difficult to keep everything organized and to find item X in pack Y. This can get downright infuriating. This is why I think I need a robot to help me manage my inventory and retrieve things for me when I ask for something by name. Given my admittedly short stature, I know that often times I am in a situation where I actually know where an item is, but it is simply out of reach. For cases like these, I think that a robot with extendible and retractable limbs would be quite useful.
I admit that I'm no engineer, and I have no idea if this idea of mine is feasible or if it's simply crazy talk. However, I cannot get the idea ouf my head. I've even got an idea of what it would look like completed. I think it might look something like this. I'd appreciate any preliminary figures for the R&D and production of such a bot. Additionally, I'd like some feedback on whether or not others would be interested in such a bot, as it is a much better use of resources to mass produce something than to make a single prototype.
