We are the People and Robots Teaching and Learning (PoRTaL) group at Cornell Computer Science.
We build everyday robots for everyday users.
Our mission is to make robots accessible, user-friendly and practical for everyday tasks from cooking to cleaning. To this end, our research focuses on imitation learning, decision making and human-robot interaction. We are passionate about both theory and algorithms that equip robots with skills to work with people.
