A University of Louisville engineering research team is working on the next generation of robots. The robots appear almost human and will be able to do jobs that humans can鈥檛 or don鈥檛 want to do in military or health care settings.
Engineering professor Dan Popa and his team recently received a federal grant to develop a robot that could serve as a nurses鈥 assistant. 聽
