UW-Madison Science Narratives and partners have joined together to create a 5-month video and audio adventure, exploring the work of Dr Bilge Mutlu and colleagues as they craft robots from a human perspective. It’s not just science fiction.


Watch Episode 5

In this next episode, UW-Madison roboticists discuss how quickly robotics research is evolving. How can robots enhance our human experience in ways that make it better?
