"Intelligent Robots"
Today we have machines that can easily beat us in intellectual pursuits such as chess or Jeopardy, yet are still unable to help us do the laundry or wash our dishes. I will discuss some of the latest research on intelligent robots at Penn, including getting robots to drive, play soccer, and perform rescue missions.
