I think everybody looks at the robot
describe their own human features to it
because it does have two sets of cameras
that sort of look like eyes it is sort
of designed to give you a sense of being
a person and working in human spaces
what we’re really trying to do is get
robots out of the lab and into use with
people and figure out you know how a
robot is going to be able to help people
do more accomplish more things and also
improve the quality of life of everybody
across society there are certain
examples that we think are really
compelling being able to assist the
disabled being able to help their
elderly but the real barriers to entry
right now are accessibility robots still
cost a lot they’re still difficult to
interface with traditionally I’ve worked
in the areas of robot learning from
demonstration where we don’t have to be
a programmer to control the robot to
program the robot there’s many different
ways you can actually teach a robot one
is you can just show the robot what you
want to do you can have the robot watch
you do something that’s really hard
because the robot now has to track your
movements and has to perceive what are
the things that you’re interacting with
a much easier approach is to just take
the take the robots arm and guide the
robots arm through the emotions that you
wanted to execute another approach is to
treat the robot as a remote control
device
you take the robots perspective and your
joy sticking the robot through the
actions you want it to execute once we
do those demonstrations our task is to
take that data applies machine learning
and and statistical techniques to it
such that we can extract essentially a
mapping from what the robot sees at a
given time to what what action would
want it to take we’d love to make it
based on what we call natural language
commands so that you can you can sell
the robot you know can you pick up that
glass for me and it would it would pick
up the glass for you I just want to show
the the suitable technologies beam
remote presence device so I can access
this system from anywhere around the
world so I was sitting right here where
Aaron sitting this morning I was like
all right I just want to go check in on
the lab so I beamed into into this
system and essentially drove around my
lab I can just do this myself in
addition to not being reliant upon
somebody to just be there to take the
call
I can also effect physical change in the
world literally change the world
robotics is really an extension of the
information technology revolutions that
we’ve had over the past few decades
what computing data over the last 40
years are the same things that robotics
will provide now except that we have
more more wisdom about the technology to
do it better to make it you know to not
just think about how these systems are
going to improve our productivity and
help us do do more but also think about
how we can improve everybody’s life
across the world across the
socio-economic spectrum
