This December, the first issue of Science Robotics was released. We wrote the research articles in that issue. I’m Huichan Zhao, and my research focused on how to imbue prosthetics with some attributes of the sense of touch. (http://robotics.sciencemag.org/content/1/1/eaai7529). Our final demonstration saw a robotic hand “feeling” three tomatoes to determine which one was ripe. I’m Duncan W. Haldane, and my team created a jumping robot that used as its model a leaping primate called a galago. (http://robotics.sciencemag.org/content/1/1/eaag2048). One powerful application for our robot would be in buildings that have collapsed and need to have a light, nimble robot search for survivors without disturbing the debris. I’m Surjo Soekadar, and I led a team that created a noninvasive, hybrid brain/neural hand exoskeleton (B/NHE) for quadriplegics restoring their ability to perform activities of daily living, such as eating and drinking independently (http://robotics.sciencemag.org/content/1/1/eaag3296). The results broadly suggest that brain/neural-assistive technology can restore autonomy and independence in quadriplegic individuals’ everyday life. And I’m Holly Russell. My team investigated how humans and autonomous vehicles adapt when the control of the vehicle switches from car to human and back again. (http://robotics.sciencemag.org/content/1/1/eaah5682) Our findings have implications for the design of vehicles that transition from automated to manual driving and for understanding of human motor control in real-world tasks. We will be back at 1 pm ET to answer your questions, Ask us anything!
