Robots, like humans, generally use two different sensory modalities when interacting with the world. There's exteroceptive perception (or exteroception), which comes from external sensing systems like lidar, cameras, and eyeballs.
For legged robots, exteroception is what enables them to do all the cool stuff—with really good external sensing and the time (and compute) to do some awesome motion planning, robots can move dynamically and fast.
Could robots be the future of elder care?
The World Health Organization estimates that by 2030, there will be 1.4 billion people older than 60 on the planet. Caring for this population will require intensive care from health professionals, but robots might help ease the burden, Nature reported Jan. 19.
Alongside colleagues, Conor McGinn, CEO of Akara Robotics, experimented with a robot at a retirement community in Washington, D.C.

How one person can control a swarm of 130 robots | Popular Science
Last November, at Fort Campbell, Tennessee, half a mile from the Kentucky border, a single human directed a swarm of 130 robots.
"The operator of our swarm really was interacting with things as a collective, not as individuals," says Shane Clark, of Raytheon BBN, who was the company's main lead for OFFSET.
Serve Robotics Launches First Level 4 Self-Driving Delivery Robots - Food On Demand
Less than a year after being spun off from Postmates, Serve Robotics hit a significant milestone by deploying next-generation robots that are the first autonomous vehicles to complete commercial deliveries at Level 4 autonomy.
That elusive milestone, which mass-market passenger cars have yet to achieve, means Serve's delivery bots can routinely operate without human intervention.
