# Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand’s Robotics, Autonomous Intelligence and Learning Lab are advancing the frontiers of artificial intelligence. This is by developing machines that can walk, pour milk, and even explore ancient fossil caves. The team is developing robotic explorers, ranging from legged robots and wheeled vehicles to drones. Professor Benjamin Rosman says the robots will be able to autonomously map the terrain, locate excavation zones, and safely gather data in areas that are dangerous or inaccessible to humans:
