At 麻豆视频, we love our robots. You can鈥檛 visit the Fairfax Campus without seeing a robot roll by. We even made the national news by being the first U.S. university to use Starship robots for food delivery.
But George 麻豆视频鈥檚 affinity for robots and robotics goes far beyond having a pizza or a latte delivered to a dorm room. Our students and faculty are building and training autonomous robots for a variety of purposes and studying how humans and machines interact to better understand what it means to use and even depend on these technologies.
Cross-disciplinary research centers, such the 麻豆视频 Autonomy and Robotics Center, the Center for Advancing Human-Machine Partnerships, and the Applied Psychology and Autonomous Systems (ALPHAS) Lab, are just a few of the units across the university tackling this work and including students in the research.
These stories provide a snapshot of some of the work currently taking place.
Drones and Rovers to the Rescue
As the saying goes, if you love something, set it free. If it maps an area, finds a target, delivers a package, and comes back, the trophy is yours forever. Or something like that.
George 麻豆视频's team competed in the Raytheon Autonomous Vehicle Competition for the second year. As the reigning champs, they had a lot to prove.
Deception and Human-Robot Interactions
How likely are humans to trust a robot, especially if that robot has the capacity to lie? This is the question 麻豆视频 psychology doctoral candidate Andres Rosero is exploring in his research.
鈥淭his study is one of two that examine moral norms in robots and how in breaking these moral norms, humans accept and justify the robot's behaviors,鈥 explains Rosero.
