The three-day conference, from October 15-17, features demonstrations, lectures and tours of Georgia Tech robot labs.
Hunter Lloyd had them in the palm of his hand. His audience, which numbered more than 70, laughed, sometimes uproariously, at Lloyd’s every joke, one-liner and quip. They were right on cue for his every call and response, turning frequently to their seatmates to share in the steady stream of hilarity.
Robotics is becoming a transformative technology. We Robot 2014 builds on existing scholarship exploring the role of robotics to examine how the increasing sophistication of robots and their widespread deployment everywhere from the home, to hospitals, to public spaces, and even to the battlefield disrupts existing legal regimes or requires rethinking of various policy issues.
Rethink Robotics today announced the Baxter Research Robot, a revolutionary humanoid robot with two arms powered by a Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows researchers to create a wide array of custom applications for robots, is now in use at universities across the United States.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded more than $2 million to fund projects led by Georgia Tech robotics researchers. The principal investigators (PIs) and co-PIs for these projects represent three of the Institute’s six colleges, illustrating the interdisciplinary collaboration that distinguishes Tech as a leader in the national initiative to accelerate the development and use of robots in the United States.
In order to provide the community with a standardized and systematic comparison between different state-of-the-art algorithms in motion generation, a benchmark framework has been developed in context of the FP7-EU AMARSi project.
