The Sunflower robot, developed by the University of Hertfordshire, has been used to examine home-assistance scenarios in which physical and/or cognitive assistance was provided to human volunteers
The University of Liverpool is part of a UK project that aims to ensure that future robotic systems can be trusted by humans. Robots are increasingly being developed to serve as active "helpers” in situations where humans require assistance to undertake certain tasks. This means that the humans involved must be fully confident in robot behaviour if human-robot teamwork is to become viable and productive. Sophisticated interactions The "Trustworthy Robotic Assistants” project which totals £1.2million will explore how robots can participate in sophisticated interactions with humans in an increasingly safe and trustworthy manner. Funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) , that It will address issues concerning the barriers between the robot and the human that have hampered the development of human-robot interactions, and will look at not only whether the robot makes safe moves but whether it knowingly or deliberately makes unsafe moves.
