UT will launch a robot delivery network on campus in 2023. It's part of a study on robots and how they interact with the people around them.
AUSTIN, Texas — Autonomous robots will soon rove the University of Texas at Austin campus. But unlike other commercial delivery services, this fleet of robots will help researchers understand and improve the experience of pedestrians who encounter them.
The team’s research promises to become the most extensive data about human-robot encounters in public spaces to date. Over time, the team will learn how robotic autonomy and a real-world community can coexist. When the network is up and running, members of the UT Austin community can order free supplies such as wipes and hand sanitizer via a smartphone app. The robots will deliver them to certain pedestrian zones on campus, door-to-door.
The researchers study human-AI partnerships through the Good Systems research grand challenge. The new $3.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation expands on their six-year project Living and Working with Robots, which kicked off in September 2021.
