Ensuring that robots and humans work
and play well together.
Anca Dragan, an
assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science at UC Berkeley,
is working to distill complicated or vague human behavior into simple
mathematical models that robots can understand. She says many conflicts that
arise when humans and robots try to work together come from a lack of
transparency about each other’s intentions. Teaching a robot to understand how
it might influence a person’s behavior could solve that. One pressing
application for this work is in helping self-driving cars and human-driven cars
to anticipate each other’s next moves.
