Research and Applications in Robotics and Haptics - From Human in the Loop to Human on the Loop

 

Professor Saeid Nahavandi

Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation

Deakin University - Victoria, Australia

 

Place: ECE 202

Time: 10-11am, Wed., 17 October 2018

 

ABSTRACT

 

Most existing robotic systems have human involvement in some way, shape or form. To achieve a robot assisted mission, the human is often in the loop, performing a critical task to the mission that comes with it’s own weakness and disadvantage. The role of humans in this ecosystem will shift from being in the loop to on the loop where robots are deployed. This talk will cover aspects of robotics and haptics research and their applications. Major challenges are highlighted in the journey towards full autonomy and the shift from human in the loop to human on the loop.
