How Do You Build a Better Robot? By Understanding People.
Computer scientist Dorsa Sadigh discusses the growing field of human-robot interaction.
Whether it’s autonomous vehicles or assistive technology in healthcare that can do things like help the elderly do core tasks like feeding themselves, some of the most challenging problems in the field of robotics involve how robots interact with humans, with all of our many complexities.
Drawing from fields as varied as cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics, Stanford computer scientist Dorsa Sadigh is exploring how to train robots to better understand humans – and how to give humans the skills to more seamlessly work with robots.
She discusses these challenges with Stanford Engineering’s The Future of Everything host Professor Russ Altman, a Stanford HAI associate director, in this latest episode.
Stanford HAI's mission is to advance AI research, education, policy and practice to improve the human condition. Learn more.
