Intelligent Robots: Current Reality and Future Possibilities
Intelligent robots are becoming ubiquitous: we're used to the idea of robots exploring Mars and, closer to home, we now have robot vacuum cleaners, robot pets and robot Lego. But these robots are very different to the fantasy robots we see in the movies. This talk will explore the amazing reality of intelligent robots, illustrated with real examples from current research in the Bristol Robotics Laboratories, and speculate about the future possibilities of robots in society from both technical and ethical perspectives.
