Autonomous Robotics Work by Fermüller, Aloimonos and Graduate Student Yang Featured in MIT Technology Review

Research in autonomous robotics by Cornelia Fermüller, Yiannis Aloimonos and their graduate student Yezhou Yang was featured in an MIT Technology Review article that highlighted the group’s recent demonstration at a conference in St. Louis.

The researchers are developing sophisticated robotic systems that can observe human actions—pouring a drink or making a salad, for example—and then use computer vision, artificial intelligence and language processing algorithms to determine the most efficient way for the robot to perform the same tasks on its own.
