Cynthia Breazeal: The rise of personal robots
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Feb 8, 2011
http://www.ted.com As a grad student, Cynthia Breazeal wondered why we were using robots on Mars, but not in our living rooms. The key, she realized: training robots to interact with people. Now she dreams up and builds robots that teach, learn -- and play. Watch for amazing demo footage of a new kids' game.
