Abstract :
GRANNIE 2 is the latest iteration of the author´s artificial intelligence-enhanced robot control system. Early versions provided a biologically inspired, object oriented, open systems, multiprocessor network to support android or simian robots. Later extensions assisted with research into human growth and development, simulated hormone action and drug responses, and served as a user-friendly interface for medical devices for patients. The current system is being developed as an intelligent agent to monitor persons via communications networks and assist with their activities of daily living, via any available machine-controllable resources.
