Odest Chadwicke Jenkins
Instead of cleaning your own room, you can show a robot how to do it for you! Dr. Odest Chadwicke Jenkins, a computer science professor at Brown University, teaches robots how to perform tasks simply by giving them a demonstration. Instead of programming the robot with a computer, you just show the robot what to do. For example, if you pick up your socks on the bedroom floor, the robot watches, learns and can repeat the chore. The research performed by Professor Jenkins is designed to make it easy to interact with robots and teach them how to perform different tasks.
