Researchers working on robots launched into space don’t often connect with those working on terrestrial robots, where the stakes are lower and the pace of innovation is faster.
Dan Szafir, director of the ATLAS IRON Lab, is helping realize a future in which robots read body language, manage ambiguity, anticipate our needs and have that human touch.
Assistant Professor Dan Szafir named in Forbes magazine’s 2017 “30 Under 30: Science” list for pioneering work on improving human-robot communication by recognizing body language.
