Get ready to groove with this robot! UC San Diego engineers have trained it to bust out dance moves, high-five, shake hands and even signal traffic—all while walking on different terrains. “Through expressive and more human-like body motions, we aim to build trust and showcase the potential for robots to co-exist in harmony with humans,” said electrical and computer engineering professor Xiaolong Wang. “We are working to help reshape public perceptions of robots as friendly and collaborative rather than terrifying like The Terminator.” Learning more human-like motions can also prepare robots to perform more complex tasks in the future. This bot is here to show that robots can be helpful partners working alongside us, making them potentially useful on factory floors or in our homes.
