Manual Robotic Intelligence and the Success of Assistant Robots
- 👤 Speaker: Prof. Ángel Pascual Del Pobil
- 📅 Date & Time: Tuesday 06 March 2018, 14:00 - 15:00
- 📍 Venue: Bio-Inspired Robotics Laboratory, Dept of Engineering, Trumpington Street
Abstract
Many forecasts predict a dramatic increase in the non-industrial robotics market in the coming years. For actual assistant robots to become consumer products, a leap in their manipulation skills is called for. If they are intended to help in performing daily tasks at home, the perceived quality of service requires a successful physical interaction with the environment. This poses a number of challenges such as adaptability, autonomy, functionality, resiliency, cost-effectiveness, and safety. I will also look at robots as cyber-physical networked systems and consider the posibilities of cloud computing. I will compare them with robots in online shopping warehouses, with some lessons learned from our participation in the Amazon Robotics Challenge 2017.
