Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory - Indiana University Visiting

I visited Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory of Indiana University on Feb 22. It's exciting to see different robots in teaching and research. I also gave a talk there, the topic is "From Rational to Emotional Agents". Hope we will have a kind of collaboration in the future.
