Fereshteh Shahmiri and Hsien-Chung Lin’s Summer Intern Project: Human Interaction with Robot through Virtual Reality

In an earlier blog post, I mentioned how we had 3 interns working at our Applied Research and Innovation Lab at Pier 9. A few weeks ago, we had our end of intern presentations. I have already shared the story of Jack Reinke and Brice Dudley’s presentation on non-traditional arm/hand casts as well as Charlott Vallon’s presentation on teaching a robot via demonstration.

Here is another story — also related to robots and demonstration.
