Observer connected with the artist to discuss her practice, artificial intelligence and what it was like to choreograph for a robot.

Researchers introduced the AFFECT-HRI dataset, designed to address the lack of open data for developing emotion recognition capabilities in human-robot interaction (HRI). This dataset combines subjective human-affect assessments with objective physiological sensor data collected during interactions between participants and anthropomorphic service robots in a complex retail scenario.

A group of researchers from Cornell University and the University of Lisbon recently unveiled a touch-based robot that can promote inclusion in classrooms by providing kids with and without visual impairments with equal opportunities to engage in group activities with the robot.

MIT engineers aim to give robots a bit of common sense when faced with situations that push them off their trained path, so they can self-correct after missteps and carry on with their chores. The team’s method connects robot motion data with the common sense knowledge of large language models, or LLMs.
