New golden age of robotics
High up on the eighth floor of the Hoogkamp building, professor Stefano Stramigioli can often be seen moving around on a Segwey purchased by Professor Regtien for the TEAM project. This personal transportation device, not yet approved for Dutch roadways, moves according to a users own body movements. This is the home of the faculty of Advanced Robotics, the nesting ground of UT's visionaries, who toil to build a fully-functional humanoid robot, capable of working together with humans. Stamigioli says, `For a roboticist— one of the dreams is to build the most complex machine there is— to try to copy the human.'
