- Abstract:
In this talk I will present the seeing-eye robot grand challenge and discuss the components required to design and build a service robot that can replace or surpass the functionalities of a seeing-eye dog. This challenge encompasses a variety of research problems that can benefit from human-inspired AI: reasoning about other agents, human-robot interactions, explainability, teaching teammates, and more. For each of these problems, I will present an example novel contribution that leverages the bilateral investigation of human and artificial intelligence. Finally, I will discuss the many remaining challenges towards achieving a seeing-eye robot and how I plan to tackle these challenges.
