TRI is inventing robotic capabilities that amplify people – rather than replace them – to address the challenges emerging from an aging society, both at home and at work. In order to develop entirely new approaches to robotics that apply to many different realworld applications, we first focus on solving what we call “challenge tasks” – tasks that are so difficult that the current state of the art cannot solve them, yet with quantitative metrics of success, so we can measure progress towards new capabilities. We then take the capabilities developed in these challenge tasks and demonstrate how they can be applied in multiple different realworld applications to amplify, not replace, people.
