Where the extraordinary is ordinary. “Simon” tests ways for humans and robots to interact, using commonly understood hand gestures. We also have a robot that improvises on the marimbas.
Shimon, the marimbaplaying robot
Whether it is a robot that will jam with your best Coltrane improvisation or an iPhone app for the blind making texting as simple and easy as using a braille keypad, the extraordinary is ordinary at Georgia Tech. We are working on taking the “ouch!” out of vaccines through the development of a dissolving nanoscale Microneedles to microneedle patch – less painful than deliver vaccines a band-aid.
Georgia Tech leads in applying advanced engineering to solve complex healthcare challenges. And although we have created innovative cancer treatments, developed an even more accurate atomic clock, and built a college campus recognized as one of the most environmentally-friendly in the country, we also invent games like Cow-Clicker.
Simon uses gestures to initiate communication with humans.
