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. They use technology much more than previous generations. The robots will be able to determine subtle facial expressions, walking styles, and anticipate what people are thinking, doing and feeling. In a recent interview with IEEE Spectrum, Dr. David Hanson, director of the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition, said that he believes this is one of the most important developments in robotics since the invention of 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.
