Robots that Smell

I was recently doing some training at a company that had a MailMobile to do internal mail delivery. It toots around the building, making predefined stops so cube dwellers can grab their mail from various slots and buckets on the robot.



As I learned from the MailMobile web site, though, the way that the MailMobile follows the path originally set up for it is by following an invisible (to humans) chemical path painted on the floor.
