Professor Drives Research Of Humanoid Robots
Watching machines completely independent of human manipulation face off on the soccer field is one way for non-computer science majors to understand the real world capabilities of artificial intelligence and to provide a taste for the future of robotics. Peter Stone, associate computer science professor, talked about his UT RoboCup team, autonomous vehicles and other parts of his research yesterday. Stone’s research focuses on how to create “robust, fully autonomous agents in the real world.” Part of creating that independence is a concept called machine learning, where the robot can learn from its mistakes and ideally improve from experience, he said.
