b"In this episode, we hear from Brad Hayes, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, who directs the university's Collaborative AI and Robotics lab. The lab\\u2019s work focuses on developing systems that can learn from and work with humans\\u2014from physical robots or machines, to software systems or decision support tools\\u2014so that together, the human and system can achieve more than each could achieve on their own.\\n\\nOur interviewer Audrow caught up with Dr. Hayes to discuss why collaboration may at times be preferable to full autonomy and automation, how human naration can be used to help robots learn from demonstration, and the challenges of developing collaborative systems, including the importance of shared models and safety to allow adoption of such technologies in future."
