ROBOT (IMAGE) Rice University Caption The task set for this Fetch robot by Rice University computer scientists is made easier by their BLIND software, which allows for human intervention when the robot’s path is blocked by an obstacle. Keeping a human in the loop augments robot perception and prevents the execution of unsafe motion, according to the researchers.
