Enhancing human-robot interaction
Remote operation for humanoid interaction
“Creating bidirectional telepresence experience for operator through a compelling combination of state-of-the-art social, visual, haptic, audio and olfactory technologies.”
Avatars are integrated robotic systems such as humanoids that remotely enable us to see, hear, touch, and interact with physical environments and other people anywhere in the world instantly, as if physically present. By combining smart robotic solutions in avatars, it is possible to transport an expert’s full skill set to an environment that is too dangerous, too vulnerable, too confined, or too far away to physically go to.
Imitation Learning : Teaching Robots New Behaviors
Remote operation for humanoid interaction
““Our research in robotics is aimed at amplifying people rather than replacing them,” said Gill Pratt, Chief Scientist for Toyota Motor Corporation.
This new teaching technique is both very efficient and produces very high performing behaviors, enabling robots to much more effectively amplify people in many ways.
Previous state-of-the-art techniques to teach robots new behaviors were slow, inconsistent, inefficient, and often limited to narrowly defined tasks performed in highly constrained environments.””
Imitation learning, where systems learn tasks by observing user behavior, is complex but promising transformative impacts across multiple industries. When combined with force-feedback devices, these systems gains thanks to immediat qualified physical interactions data.
The integration of these technologies opens the door to innovative advancements in fields like advanced manufacturing and robotic assistance in daily life. However, significant research is still needed.
