Grant: Canada 150 Research Chairs
University of Waterloo
$350,000.00
Canada 150 Research Chair in Intelligent Robotics
FY 2024-25
Summary
Robots are increasingly being used outside traditional manufacturing contexts. One of the most challenging areas is to develop robots that can interact with and work naturally alongside people, assisting us in our daily lives. Making robots behave socially and intelligently are prerequisites for their acceptance and ultimately their successful use in any applications where robots share spaces with people. New adaptive and interactive robotic technologies will have immense positive impacts in several domains, including education, therapy and care for older residents. The proposed program will also integrate artificial intelligence to advance interdisciplinary approaches for creating intelligent and assistive robots.
