Current SRI Projects [Past Projects]

• Active Home/Personal Robotics - Creating a robot to help with tasks in the home.
• Amelia - An improved Xavier
• BeatBots - We are developing robots that can participate in coordinated rhythmic social interactions with people.
• Cyberinfrastructure for Human-Robot Interaction Research - We seek to provide the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) with collaborative mechanisms and methods for evaluation and exploratory analysis.
• Distributed Robot Architectures - The primary objective of this project is to develop fundamental capabilities that enable multiple, distributed, heterogeneous robots to coordinate tasks that cannot be accomplished by the robots individually.
• Grace - The Grace project is a collaboration among several schools and research labs to design a robot capable of fully performing the AAAI Grand Challenge.
• Lunar Ice Discovery Initiative - Icebreaker is a proposed mission to explore the south pole of the Moon.
• Mars Autonomy - Long-distance marsrover navigation with minimal human intervention.
• Quality of Life Technology Center - QoLT is a unique partnership between Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh that brings together a cross-disciplinary team of technologists, clinicians, industry partners, end users, and other stakeholders to create revolutionary technologies that will improve and sustain the quality of life for all people.
• Reflective Agents with Distributed Adaptive Reasoning - The focus of the RADAR project is to build a cognitive assistant that embodies machine learning technology that is able to function without requiring expert tuning or specially trained users.
• Roboceptionist - In collaboration with the Drama Department, we are developing technology for long-term social interaction.
• Skinnerbots - Trainable robots using operant conditioning.
• Social Robots - We are developing robots with personality.
• Sonic Flashlight^TM - We are developing a method of medical visualization that merges real time ultrasound images with direct human vision.
• TRESTLE: Autonomous Assembly by Teams of Coordinated Robots - The TRESTLE project is developing the architectural framework necessary to coordinate robots performing complex assembly projects.
• Telepresence Robot Kit - To design, create, and disseminate robotics curricula and technologies that motivate young women and men to actively explore science and technology.
• Temporal Segmentation of Human Motion - Temporal segmentation of human motion
• Vikia - We are developing a robot who has personality and with whom it is easy to communicate.
