Two highly advanced, AI enabled indoor, commercial service robots, Dinerbot and Kleenbot, recently debuted at the World Robot Conference in China,
Here's what we know:

Global AI robotics company, KEENON Robotics, based in Shanghai, China, just unveiled their two latest innovations - Dinerbot T10 and Kleenbot C30
KEENON Robotics is at the vanguard of AI smart, indoor commercial service robots
KEENON controls a significant China market share in the sector and sells their robots in 60 nations
Dinerbot is a next-generation, multifunctional food and drinks delivery bot
It utilizes highly advanced AI, a comprehensive sensor detection system along with multi-modal interaction
Dinerbot is such a smooth operator it delivers liquids, like drinks at a restaurant, without spilling and can navigate very tight passageways
It has a moveable head, talks and shows expressions
Has a 23.8" display to help customers and a cloud-based advertising system that can showcase ads on the display
Uses an open design, large capacity tray
Also has motion control performance and plate detection for meal retrival
Kleenbot C30 has 4 professional cleaning functions
Its minimum coverage area is 1500 square meters at a full charge
It's portable and agile
Both robots are autonomous and unmanned

The dynamic duo are particularly valuable for restaurants, sandwich shops and other food venues.

MEDICAL BREAKTHRU: AI BRAIN CHIPS RESTORE SPEECH

Doctors at Stanford University using AI-enabled brain chips have performed a medical breakthrough: restoring the ability to speak in an ALS patient who lost that ability to the neurodegenerative disease 13 years ago
Here are the facts:

68 year old Pat Bennett lost her ability to speak from ALS, the same disease that killed renowned scientist Stephen Hawking
Doctors at Stanford University, as part of a clinical trial, implanted 4 small sensors with AI chips in her brain
The AI chips allow her to communicate her thoughts directly from her mind onto a computer screen at 62 words per minute
The new AI tech is 3xs faster than current technology
It's called an intercortical brain computer interface
This also took tremendous work on the part of the patient
Pat Bennett partook in 26 sessions with an AI algorithm helping the AI to understand what brain activity on her part corresponded to words and phrases
Every session she would try to communicate 260 to 480 sentences
During 4 months, the patient helped the doctors and AI experts build a remarkable AI system that enables her to communicate once again and is expected to help many more patients of speech paralysis as a result of stroke and other conditions like ALS
From the smile on Pat's face, she can see the joy that it brings to her and eventually to many others

Bottomline: AI-powered brain implants, feared for the potential to alter personalities, have performed a medical miracle in restoring a person's ability to speak after so many years.
