Robot Arm Cutting Cucumber

Who is Cooking Dinner? How robotics can help.

How can robots teach themselves complex manipulation skills?

Assistant Professor Oliver Kroemer and his team develop robots capable of learning complex manipulation tasks, such as cutting vegetables for meal preparation, measuring granular objects by the sounds they make, and opening doors. In this lab tour, scholars observed live demonstrations of some of the robots in the lab while learning about the sensors and techniques the researchers used to produce their robots.
