(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the University of Pennsylvanias GRASP Lab have added new functionality to their Robot PR2. The Robot PR2, which has been given the nickname Graspy, has the ability to read for itself. Graspy can read anything from simple signs to full-length warnings. At this point it has yet to work with longer texts, but in time it may be able to read you a bedtime story.
