Hao Zhang, associate professor of computer science, plans to use lessons from social psychology to increase the resilience and robustness of multi-robot systems.

Dataquest Magazine has named Colorado School of Mines one of the top five universities worldwide for robotics research. Also on the list of “engineering courses and colleges that are changing the

The possibility of robot overlords? Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about that for a while. For now, scientists and engineers are focused on improving basic human-robot interaction to perform

Williams will receive $549,999 over five years for his project, “Cognitively-Informed Memory Models for Language-Capable Robots,” which will apply lessons from cognitive psychology in hopes of developing working memory processes in robots.

“Artificial intelligence is certainly on the rise and has been for several years,” said Tracy Camp, department head and professor of computer science at Mines. “There’s just so much in our world today where we can use machine learning or AI to improve on our society or lives.”

Electrical engineering freshman Grant Kahl hopes the automated Ambu bag-ventilation system can be used in health care settings around the world where traditional-style ventilators are unavailable, too costly or too cumbersome.

The new graduate program will capitalize on the university’s deep expertise in field robotics and its niche in the geosciences and extractive industries.

It's not so much about make-believe but rather robots' ability to continually adapt to new scenarios without having to physically experience them first, the computer science assistant professor said.
