Can robots guess our next move?

Researchers have programmed a robot that is able to understand and react to human movement. The team, based at the University of Lincoln, UK, have developed a computational model which focusses on the essence of movement, representing the relative movement of human and robot in relation to one another. This enables the robot to reason…
