Special shoutout to our faculty advisor!
For people with mobility limitations, daily tasks like eating and getting out of bed can be impossible without help. Tapomayukh "Tapo" Bhattacharjee, assistant professor of computer science, has received the Toyota Research Institute Young Faculty Researcher Award for his work in assistive robotics. Tapo believes assistive robotics have the potential to better the lives of people who have mobility limitations and relieve some of the caregivers’ workload.
Happy National Robotics Week! Join us in celebrating the vital role of robotics technology in shaping the future of STEM education. Together, let's embrace innovation and inspire the next generation of roboticists! #NationalRoboticsWeek #STEMeducation"
Students' introduction to the MS in Robotics at Northwestern University (MSR) program was as much about getting to know each other as it was about the technology they will use throughout the program. David K. (MSR '25) and Grayson Snyder (MSR '25) looked back on the valuable experience. #robotics #machinelearning #msr
The human eye has inspired the development of a camera mechanism that improves how robots see and react to the world around them! Developed by a team led by University of Maryland (UMD) computer scientists, the camera system mimics the involuntary movements used by the human eye to maintain clear and stable vision. The team’s prototyping and testing of the camera - called the Artificial Microsaccade-Enhanced Event Camera (AMI-EV) – is detailed in?'Science Robotics.'

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems recently identified seven benefits of diversity and inclusion as "a catalyst for facilitating cutting-edge research and accelerating progress in the field of robotics." Shoutout to Raje Srinivasan, Intuitive Foundation and Intuitive — creator of the DaVinci robot — for their commitment to fostering diversity in #healthtech. Last year, our Pathways students toured their headquarters, and we look forward to working with them again in 2025.

"Taylor Higgins, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, has co-authored an article that challenges conventional thinking about human-robot interaction. The article,?published?in?Science Robotics, argues that successful robotics development must focus more on understanding?human behavior?rather than solely on robot functionality. The research, by an all-female team, highlights fundamental differences in how humans and robots perceive their environment, make decisions and execute tasks. "The key point from this paper is that for robots to improve their performance, they need to adapt smartly, sensing that humans are sometimes unpredictable and will change their actions accordingly," Higgins said. "The idea is that both humans and robots can adjust their behaviors together over time."" #robots #robotbehaviors #humanbehaviors #robotperception
