LCSR Seminar: Alessandro Roncone
Description
Alessandro Roncone, an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at University of Colorado Boulder, will give a talk titled "Robots Working With and Around People" for the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics.
To attend virtually, the Zoom link is on the LCSR lecture page.
Abstract:
Robots have begun to transition from assembly lines, where they are physically separated from humans, to human-populated environments and human-enhancing applications, where interaction with people is inevitable. With this shift, research in human-robot interaction (HRI) has grown to allow robots to work with and around humans on complex tasks, augment and enhance people, and provide the best support to them. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the work performed in the HIRO Group and our efforts toward intuitive, human-centered technologies for the next generation of robot workers, assistants, and collaborators. More specifically, I will present our research on: a) robots that are safe to people, b) robots that are capable of operating in complex environments, and c) robots that are good teammates. In all, this research will enable capabilities that were not previously possible, and will impact work domains such as manufacturing, construction, logistics, the home, and health care.
