Robotics: The Android Dreams Special Session
https://www.siggraph.org/conferences/...

The session included presentations by Stan Winston (Stan Winston Studio), Cynthia Breazeal (MIT Media Lab), Robert Ambrose (NASA Johnson Space Center), Helen Greiner (iRobot Corporation), and Masahiro Fujita (Sony Digital Creatures Lab). The presentations presented an overview of several robotics projects, though not necessarily of the entire state of field of autonomous robotic systems.

The third speaker, Robert Ambrose, discussed the development of an intelligent, dexterous astronaut-like robot named Robonaut. This robotic assistant for astronauts was developed by the National Aeronautics & Space Administration and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to aid future astronauts in their missions.

Robert detailed how the depiction of robots in movies has advanced from exceptionally mechanical droids to highly intelligent and capable human-like replacements. However, he pointed out that most robots in the movies are not nearly as dexterous as those present today. Robert also outlined how his current research is part of the DARPA MARS (Mobile Autonomous Robot Software) program that Cynthia’s work is associated with.
