Concepts of Robot Programming introduces the methods that engineers use to train robots to perform manufacturing tasks and the ideas behind those methods. Programming methods include online ...

Let’s face it, robots are cool. They’re also going to run the world some day, and hopefully, at that time they will take pity on their poor soft fleshy creators (a.k.a. robotics developers) and help ...

The field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is rapidly emerging as a significant interdisciplinary research area that focuses on developing robotic technologies and interfaces that enable robots to ...

The method could also inspire future AI systems that combine more abilities, such as 3D vision, depth sensing, and joint ...

The master's in robotics emphasizes the analysis, control and design of robots, which play a crucial role in modern society; including robotic arms for manufacturing and assistive co-robots in ...

Nick Morales used his final project in the MSR program to investigate a form of robotics that enables machines to predict human intent to move and position large, heavy objects. Anyone who has ever ...

The next phase of collaborative robots eliminates the need for programming. Applications such as machine tending and palletizing can be deployed in a few simple steps. Robot programming has come a ...

Yuchen Rao (MSR '17) looks back at how she became interested in robotics and the role Northwestern Engineering's Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) played in her current research in artificial ...
