Considerations for Collaborative Robots
Save the Date. Artificial intelligence is transforming how researchers collect, analyze, and learn from data. As AI systems become increasingly integrated into scientific discovery, business decision-making, and policy analysis, they are reshaping both the questions researchers can ask and the methods they use to answer them.

The rapid acceleration of AI comes with a profound wave of anxiety. Across every sector of society, people are facing unsettling questions about their worth and their place in a shifting world.

Over the past few decades, robots have become more capable of physically performing complex tasks. Robotics has evolved from simply the accuracy and repeatability of automation in manufacturing, to the ability to operate in unstructured environments with autonomy, to the capability to coordinate with other robots with swarm technology, and now to work alongside human teammates as collaborators and assistants. This latest horizon of effective collaboration requires all the tools developed in robotics, in particular, machine learning (AI) in order to model and anticipate a human teammate. In this talk, we will discuss what makes an effective robotic assistant, and considerations for modeling, anticipating, and collaborating with a human teammate.
