Human-Robot Interaction - Can a Machine Understand Human Intention?

FREE STANFORD WEBINAR

January 23, 2024 | 9:00 - 10:00 am PST

Summary

Robots and humans are no strangers to collaboration, from Ford production lines to Amazon warehouses. Yet, these partnerships are limited to basic assembly tasks - Imagine a future where autonomous robots will work seamlessly alongside humans.  

Join Monroe Kennedy and Bill Burnett as they explore a future in which robots can not only think “independently” and enhance human performance, but understand human intent. With a look into the research that Professor Monroe is conducting at the Stanford University Assistive Robotics and Manipulation Lab, you’ll see how researchers are trying to code “intent” and develop safe, productive advanced robots. Get a glimpse into the future of collaborative design.


You Will:
  • Gain insight into the development of advanced, “independently-thinking” robotic systems that can augment human performance

  • Explore the challenges and innovations in coding “intent” for robots in order to establish effective collaboration

  • Discover real-world applications of assistive robots that demonstrate the potential of human-robot partnerships
