New CoBots are help on wheels

The video discusses the development of Cobot, an autonomous indoor service robot by Manuela Veloso and her team at Carnegie Mellon University. Cobot is designed to navigate and learn its environment independently, offering services like escorting and delivering items. It uses symbiotic autonomy to interact with humans, asking for help when needed, such as pressing elevator buttons. The video explores the potential for Cobots in various settings and questions societal readiness for such technology.

What are some potential locations where Cobots could be implemented?

What concerns does Manuela Veloso express about the acceptance of Cobots?
