MIRALab is a creative lab which benefits from an interdisciplinary team working in a very collaborative way.
The MIRALab research group at the University of Geneva was founded in 1989 by Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann.

PhD Student, Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Dept. of Informatics, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Research Interests: Artificial Intelligence

Research topic of the laboratory includes humanoid robots, dynamics-based information processing, human figures, and medical robotics.

Associate Professor, Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University
Research Interests: the effects of technology on groups and team, the effect of geographic distribution on work teams, cognitive and motivational inhibitors to using and sharing expertise, and the effects of autonomous mobile robots in the work environment, including workers' responses

The first edition of the IEEE Robotics and Automation email newsletter was sent out on October 14, 2003 to everyone in the Society whose correct email address is in the IEEE data base.
The newsletter will be sent out every month to six weeks by the IEEE. It includes includes action items for RAS members, breaking news, calendar updates and other time sensitive information. The goal is to inform members, not to annoy them. They are keeping it plain ascii text in order to make it convenient for people who use Pine or whose computer security does not permit attachments and to avoid downloading delays and other nasties.(although the newsletter is scanned with the same filters as the email through IEEE aliases.)

Roberta is the name of the nice looking female robot.
The identically named project uses the fascination of robots and their development to convey knowledge about engineering and computer science in an exciting way to pupils, in particular to female pupils.

Taking inspiration and guidance from the science of animal and human behavior, our goal is to build cooperative robots that can work and learn in partnership with people. Not only an engineering endeavour, we hope to gain scientific insight into the mechanisms that underlie this human and animal competence, and to develop a science of human-robot collaboration. Given the multi-disciplinary nature of this endeavor, our research explores a wide variety of topics including:

- Novel mechanical designs
- New sensing and actuator technologies
- Active multi-modal perceptual systems
- Natural language and gesture interfaces
- Expressive movement and skillful motor control
- Social learning
- Psychological modeling
- Human-robot interaction and collaboration
