Students at Binghamton University are bringing robots and humans closer than ever before. They've developed a new piece of technology that could help in anything from health care, to solving typical daily problems, all with the use of artificial intelligence.

It may look a bit intimidating at first, but the robots could be the wave of the future. With a simple code applied by the same students at BU that helped develop it, it’s ready to do just about anything, even picking up objects on its own.

And this is just the beginning of what it’s capable of.

Professors in the robotics lab continue to be blown away by their research.

"My students are doing a fantastic job, and so robotics is really like a highly interdisciplinary topic. We need to deal with the hardware and deal with the software and multiple students and faculty members. We collaborate and a lot of communication and development to work on needed," said Shiqi Zhang, assistant professor of computer science at BU.

Zhang said the robots could play a large role in everything from health care, to setting tables at restaurants, or even those jobs we don’t look forward to doing.

"There are many different kind of jobs and human community and some of the jobs are, we call them dirty and dangerous and dull, and we hope to bring the robots and maybe help people to free [them] from front of, to free people from doing those we call 3D jobs, so that people can maybe have more time to get better training, education that bring their career to the next level," said Zhang.

In another corner of this lab, research is being done to find ways to connect humans to the augmented world in a way that previously wasn't possible.

"When they work together, they don't know what each other are working on and we developed develop augmented reality interface. Through it, we can see where the robot is right now. The human can see through a walls, and we can even see the robot's planned behaviors," said Zhang.

The students say they’re currently training the robots to set tables, and recently had them deliver candy on Halloween.
