Close Encounters of the Digital Kind: (Re)defining Alliances between Humans and AI-enhanced cobots
Questions to be answered Consider the IQ (Intelligence Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient) and AQ (Action Quotient) as definitory building blocks of the AI-enhanced cobots. Smart (IQ): What cognitive shift is needed for cobots to act as adaptive digital companions? We will examine the problem-solving abilities, reasoning skills, and context awareness of AI-enhanced cobots that can […]
Advancing AI-Powered Robotic Cognition, Deliberation and Learning for Real-World Applications
Questions to be answered RQ1: How can we design robotic systems that effectively reason and deliberate to expressively define and adapt their behavior in complex, dynamic environments? RQ2: How can robots efficiently learn new manipulation skills in unstructured environments while minimizing human intervention and maximizing adaptability? RQ3: How can human-centric interfaces and shared autonomy models […]
