Canada 150 Research Chair in Intelligent Robotics

机器人越来越多地在传统制造环境之外使用。最具挑战性的领域之一是开发能够与人互动并自然地与人一起工作的机器人，在我们的日常生活中帮助我们。使机器人具有社交性和智能行为是它们被接受的先决条件，并最终在机器人与人类共享空间的任何应用中成功使用。新的自适应和交互式机器人技术将在教育、治疗和老年居民护理等多个领域产生巨大的积极影响。该计划还将整合人工智能，以推进跨学科方法，创造智能和辅助机器人。

Robots are increasingly being used outside traditional manufacturing contexts. One of the most challenging areas is to develop robots that can interact with and work naturally alongside people, assisting us in our daily lives. Making robots behave socially and intelligently are prerequisites for their acceptance and ultimately their successful use in any applications where robots share spaces with people. New adaptive and interactive robotic technologies will have immense positive impacts in several domains, including education, therapy and care for older residents. The proposed program will also integrate artificial intelligence to advance interdisciplinary approaches for creating intelligent and assistive robots.
