KSDS is going in a different direction...
Its with a heavy heart that I'm posting this. What Larry has done is shocking! Below is what info I've been able to find. Michelle Woerner has been dismissed from KSDS (1/3/2012) - effective immediately without any notice. She was told that KSDS is going in a different direction and she is not going with them. Please!! Right letters and make phone calls right away! Anything would be helpful! 2012 Grad Retreat
KSDS has set the grad retreat dates for July 5, 6 & 7, 2012!!!!! Leave it to the Japan to build a Guide Dog.
The robot developed by NSK is a four legged, wheeled robot equipped with drive wheels on each of its legs and highly capable of maneuvering over flat and stepped terrain. It is also capable of autonomously recognizing stairs through the use of independent processing of external information detected through image and distance sensors, and then guiding the user up and down staircases. This technology resulted from the development of technology aimed at achieving an autonomous robot capable of assisting human eyesight. This technology has potential application as an alternative to wheelchairs, guide dogs and service dogs. NSK will exhibit this product at Tokyo Big Sight (located in the Koto Ward of Tokyo) from Wednesday, November 9 to Saturday, November 12 at iREX 2011 (International Robot Exhibition). Visitors to the NSK booth will have the opportunity to see a demo and gain insight into the expanding needs of the market. NSK will be performing on-site verification in the actual market in order to confirm the practical use and safety of this product in the real world.

So I just decided we're gonna go to school too," says Tiffany Blackburn. Add a comment |
