UT Arlington computer scientist’s research would make robots more observant

Computer learningThe use of household robots for healthcare or service needs could help thousands of people, but most of those people do not have the skills to program those robots. A University of Texas at Arlington engineer is seeking ways to program robots by having them observe a human performing a particular task, then imitate it to complete the same objective. Manfred Huber, an associate professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department , was awarded a highly competitive $139,968 Early-concept Grant for Exploratory Research, or EAGER, award from
