Thoughts on Assistive Robotics
Human beings are remarkable for the many ways we can impact the world. We move through and interact with the world directly, or with the help of tools, using our brains and our muscles to control those tools. Robots can be thought of as tools, often with computers instead of brains, and motors instead of muscles. Robots were invented to serve humanity and can be great assistive technologies. They can augment and extend our capabilities, whether to replace functions we no longer have (or never had), or to give us new powers. In this talk, I'll give examples of how robots can and do help people, from Robots for Humanity project and other work at Stanford and beyond, in order to explore what makes robots different from other assistive technologies.
