Non-stop Robotics

When the self-driving cars and autonomous robots entered our daily urban life, it raised fundamental questions about the current infrastructure. What sorts of new infrastructure can help sustain public sector participation and maximize public interest and safety? Would the robot adjust its behavior and functions to accommodate the ready-built infrastructure, or the infrastructure should be upgraded for the robot? This seminar considered new forms of robot/infrastructure and how they interact with humans. New reconfigurations of embodiment, sensing system, path finding, action and control were designed and prototyped based on mobility robot systems, such as TurtleBot and Gita.
