It is designed to allow a robotic teammate to practice a physical task with a human partner. As the practice progresses, the robot builds a model of the human's actions, and through "imagining" the perceptual stimuli that would arise from these actions, react faster and lead to a more efficient and fluent interaction. </p><p><a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~guy/publications/HoffmanAAAI08.pdf" target="_blank">Read more about this research</a>. </p> 215 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/185857060 2008-08-07 07:09:14 -0400 some videos to not <p>AUR, the robotic desk lamp, was used in a unique human-robot stage performance.

This is a follow-up to the previous <a target="_blank">concept video</a> demonstrating the functional vision for AUR. The robot uses a cognitive architecture capable of anticipatory perceptual simulation, and can - with practice - predict the user's movements and commands and move in an anticipatory fashion to enhance efficiency and fluency in the interaction. <a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~guy/publications/HoffmanAAAI08.pdf" target="_blank">Read</a> or <a target="_blank">watch</a> more about this research. </p> 126 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/185741440 2007-05-24 11:32:30 -0400 some videos to not <p>This is a concept video featuring AUR, a robotic desk lamp developed at the Media Lab.
