No matter how you throw it, the
robot
recovers and comes back to him.
So one fundamental problem that the robots have to solve if they are to be autonomous, is essentially figuring out how to get from point A to point B. So this gets a little challenging, because the dynamics of this
robot
are quite complicated.
And so what the
robot
does, is it plans what we call a minimum-snap trajectory.
So this
robot
minimizes snap.
So these minimum-snap trajectories in this flat space are then transformed back into this complicated 12-dimensional space, which the
robot
must do for control and then execution.
And in the first video, you'll see the
robot
going from point A to point B, through an intermediate point.
(Whirring noise) So the
robot
is obviously capable of executing any curve trajectory.
So these are circular trajectories, where the
robot
pulls about two G's.
Here you have overhead motion capture cameras on the top that tell the
robot
where it is 100 times a second.
It also tells the
robot
where these obstacles are.
And here, you'll see Daniel throw this hoop into the air, while the
robot
is calculating the position of the hoop, and trying to figure out how to best go through the hoop.
So another thing the
robot
can do is it remembers pieces of trajectory that it learns or is pre-programmed.
So here, you see the
robot
combining a motion that builds up momentum, and then changes its orientation and then recovers.
So it has to do this because this gap in the window is only slightly larger than the width of the
robot.
So just like a diver stands on a springboard and then jumps off it to gain momentum, and then does this pirouette, this two and a half somersault through and then gracefully recovers, this
robot
is basically doing that.
So his algorithm tells the
robot
what part to pick up, when, and where to place it.
So this
robot
is actually equipped with a camera, and a laser rangefinder, laser scanner.
The coordinate system is defined based on the robot, where it is and what it's looking at.
So I want to show you a clip of algorithms developed by Frank Shen and Professor Nathan Michael, that shows this
robot
entering a building for the very first time, and creating this map on the fly.
So the
robot
then figures out what the features are, it builds the map, it figures out where it is with respect to the features, and then estimates its position 100 times a second, allowing us to use the control algorithms that I described to you earlier.
So this
robot
is actually being commanded remotely by Frank, but the
robot
can also figure out where to go on its own.
I can ask this
robot
to go in, create a map, and then come back and tell me what the building looks like.
So here, the
robot
is not only solving the problem of how to go from point A to point B in this map, but it's figuring out what the best point B is at every time.
This is the first time a human has controlled a
robot
with thought alone.
And one day I came in and a woman who had lost a child was talking to a
robot
in the shape of a baby seal.
That
robot
put on a great show.
So during that moment when that woman was experiencing that pretend empathy, I was thinking, "That
robot
can't empathize.
And as that woman took comfort in her
robot
companion, I didn't find it amazing; I found it one of the most wrenching, complicated moments in my 15 years of work.
How do you take a
robot
and turn it into a field microbiologist?
This is all behavioral autonomy here that's being conducted by the
robot
on its own.
