The Future of Human-Centered Robotics

Understanding, anticipating, and responding to human behavior with a machine
- advances take the technology further down the path toward realization.

Human-centered robotics hold a special place in the robotics field because
they both mimic human sensing and cognitive behavior, and are designed to
assist humans for safety and productivity. To explore human-centered robotics
is to explore human beings and how we sense the world, analyze complex and
often conflicting information, and act upon our findings, modifying
perception, understanding, and action as new information is available.

Such machines could be of great practical benefit to humans on long space
flights to Mars, for instance, or as human proxies in hazardous environments
such as a chemical spill or even ordinary circumstances like education or
elder care.
