SARA: the Socially Aware Robot Assistant.

2016-11-13 12:52:07

In this era of fears that Artificial Intelligence will destroy humanity, SARA is a Socially-Aware Robot Assistant, developed in Carnegie Mellon University’s ArticuLab. SARA interacts with people in a whole new way, personalizing the interaction and improving task performance by relying on information about the relationship between the human user and virtual assistant. Rather than taking the place of people, Sara is programmed to collaborate with her human users. Rather than ignoring the socio-emotional bonds that form the fabric of society, Sara depends on those bonds to improve her collaboration skills.
