Teaching Robots to Move Like Humans - Video

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology found that when robots move in a more human-like fashion, with one movement leading into the next, that people can not only better recognize what the robot is doing, but they can also better mimic it themselves.

Andrea Thomaz, assistant professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech's College of Computing and Ph.D. studentĀ  Michael Gielniak discuss their latest study, which was presented at the Human-Robot Interaction conference in Lausanne, Switzerland on March 7, 2011.
