Robots interact with stuff

Published on Mar 27, 2015

Social robots are designed to naturally engage with people - in our own world, at our own level. In the Personal Robots Group at the MIT Media Lab, we design robots and develop techniques and technologies to enable robot partners to help people in different domains, such as education and healthcare. Here are a few examples of interactions our robots have had.

Thanks to all the students and postdocs of the Personal Robots Group at the MIT Media Lab, past and present, who developed the robots, technologies, and projects shown in this video.
