1129: How AI Advances Are Improving Humanoid Robots

Robots are just about everywhere these days: circling the grocery store, cleaning the floor at the airport, making deliveries. Not to mention the robots on the assembly lines in factories. But how far are we from having a human-like robot at home? For example, a robot housekeeper like Rosie from “The Jetsons.” She didn’t just cook and clean, she bantered and bonded with the Jetsons. Stanford roboticist Karen Liu joined Host Ira Flatow to talk about how AI is driving advances in humanoid robotics at a live show at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City, California. Guest: Dr. Karen Liu is a professor of computer science at Stanford University. Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.Subscribe to this podcast.
