The Robotic Shopping Assistant, or as Engadget lovingly calls it, Roboshopper, was created at Utah State University to help blind people to shop. "The idea is that you simply come to the grocery store, grab the shopping assistant and it leads you to the different products. When you leave the store you leave it behind. The robot features a Braille interface and uses radio tags to find specific products."
