| summary | Mobile robots are becoming widely deployed, thanks to their increasing utility and affordability.
They have started to carve out niches where there is a value proposition for users in the home, the military, and industry. This presentation will describe some of the current iRobot systems that have benefited from these trends. With thousands of ground robots deployed for tasks like IED neutralization, where they save lives every day, the question from the users is no longer whether there is a need for robots, but when more capabilities will be available. This presentation will illustrate our research efforts to develop tomorrow's platforms and capabilities, ranging from throwbots to shape-shifting soft robots, and from efforts to increase autonomy to projects in multirobot control, collaborative robots, HRI and manipulation. |
