university in edinburgh, the national robotarium is a research centre for scientists, to take the latest robotics and explore the best ways they can be used in industry as well as all walks of life. one of the aims of the national robotarium is to try and work out what work works for humans and what work doesn t work for humans, and therefore the robots should do that work instead. that s what they re trying to work out. what? well, if you didn t understand what that was about, maybe the robots could explain it better. what sort of research goes on here? research about human robot interaction, - artificial intelligence and trustworthy - autonomous systems. are they going to do weird experiments on us? no, this is a kind of place where they work with industry to explore robotics in society and in the workplace. great. i love field trips. i feel excited. well, don t we all? one of the superstars
this week, the robots are taking over. are they going to do weird experiments on us? no, but we are going to see what man can learn from machine. some of them are chasing tails they don t have. some are beating us at football! ah, good skills! other games are available, including this one created for people with autism. catch it! good start! and lj provides some expert commentary on a new fairground ride. screaming. welcome to the national robotarium. i believe you came to see some robots. we ve got robots. rock music plays. now this is our kind of place. just opened at heriot watt university in edinburgh, the national robotarium is a research centre for scientists to take the latest robotics and explore
