A handful of current and former lab members attended the 25th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN) at Columbia Teachers College, NYC, August 26-31, 2016. The IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN) addresses fundamental issues of co-existence of human and intelligent machines. This year’s theme Human-Robot Collaboration includes robotic use in research and design, and the development of robots that interact collaboratively with humans, as well as support human-human collaboration.
