The Interactive Robotics Group (IRG) focuses on integrating robots and autonomous systems to work alongside people in time critical and safety critical applications. We work on the development of algorithms and technologies that allow humans and robots to work together safely and efficiently. From fast scheduling algorithms that enable humans and robots to share workspaces with dynamically changing temporal and spatial constraints, to the study of multi-agent interaction and problem solving, to the analysis of the effects of motion-level robot adaptation on human-robot team fluency, the Interactive Robotics Group's research deals with many aspects of human-robot interaction. The tour of the IRG will feature a live demonstration of our safety system running on an industrial robot, a demo of human-aware motion planning, and an interactive demo of consensus-based control with two mobile robots.
[This activity is part of the Hands-On Aerospace series sponsored by Aero/Astro running Jan 11-15. Participants welcome at individual sessions, priority may be given to registered 16.680 class members and undergraduates. See Hands-On Aerospace listing for full schedule.]
