A new Contextual Robotics Institute , based at UC San Diego , will develop robots based on “ See - Think - Do ” technology by which they will be able to interpret the world around them . The robots will be able to determine subtle facial expressions , walking styles , and anticipate what people are thinking , feeling and feeling . The robots are being developed for a wide range of uses , such as helping to evacuate , or looking for survivors after an earthquake , to helping the ageing US population in their everyday needs . Considered by some to be revolutionary , the development of such robotic applications comes with privacy concerns , which will need to be addressed before widespread acceptance and uptake .
A new Contextual Robotics Institute, based at UC San Diego, will develop robots based on “See-Think-Do” technology by which they will be able to interpret the world around them. The robots will be able to determine subtle facial expressions, walking styles, and anticipate what people are thinking, doing and feeling. The robots are being developed for a wide range of uses, such as helping to evacuate crowds or looking for survivors after an earthquake, to helping the ageing US population in their everyday needs. Considered by some to be revolutionary, the development of such robotic applications comes with privacy issues, which will need to be addressed before widespread acceptance and uptake.
