Why smart robots should be as lazy as possible

Alongside René van de Molengraft, Professor of Lazy Robotics and founder of Tech United, we dive into the technology behind the RoboCup.

Robots take over more and more of our everyday tasks, but why don’t they perform actual jobs in healthcare yet? Find out how HERO, our prize-winning service robot, learns to navigate the world of humans.

HERO was developed by TechUnited, a multidisciplinary team of (old) students, PhD’s and other researchers at 777 plataforma involved in the development of robotics. Find out more .
