[nfbwatlk] Transit Guide-Bots for Blind Passengers?, Route Fifty presented by Government Executive, May 17 2015

[Debby Phillips]

Well, having been a sci-fi fan for years, thanks to my buddy 
David Hyde, I think it's a fascinating thought.  Sure, I can plan 
routes and all that stuff, and I know how to ask good questions 
and all, and I'm glad I know how to do all that.  But I'm totally 
into the idea of a robot.  In fact, I think it would be great to 
have a personal robot.  I once wrote a book review for the 
Talking Book and Braille Library in Oregon while working there.  
It was a review of one of Isaac Asimov's books.  I ended my 
review by saying something like, "Maybe one day we can all have 
personal robots.  Mine will be male, and his name will be Tony." 
Wow, lo and behold, it could maybe happen.  Lol.    Debby
