Robots are becoming a core building block in engineering and healthcare applications, altering the way many industries operate, and improving quality of life for everyone. With AI, robots are further given the ability to learn and adapt so that they can work collaboratively alongside humans and other robots in real-world environments. This industry brief provides a cross-section of key research – at HAI and across Stanford – that leverages AI methods into new algorithms for human robot interaction and robot navigation. Discover how researchers are designing intelligent robots that learn and adapt to human demonstration, and how they could be used to disrupt and create markets in a wide range of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, and many more.
