$1 miljoen subsidie voor verbeteren interactie robot en mens

Roboticist Laurel Riek will be leading a 3-year, $1 million project funded by the National Science Foundation to help change the role of robots in US factories and make it easier for machines to work alongside people. The goal of the project is to design an intelligent material delivery system, which supports and closely integrates with skilled workers. In the system the researchers envision, robots would sense when skilled workers need materials and deliver them in advance. This would save companies, and consumers, about $1.7 million per hour—the cost of lost productivity when work stops to procure the needed materials (Persbericht University of California San Diego, 13 september 2016).
