Image showing LEGO model of one of the Mobile, Dexterous, Social 
robots. Here the LEGO model depicts one of the Mobile, Dexterous, Social robots. Using these robots, NRL scientists study embodied cognition, voice and gesture recognition, and dynamic autonomy. This scene shows the MDS robot "Octavia" working with a human team leader to detect and extinguish a fire in a mockup of a ship space for the Damage Control for the 21st Century (DC-21) project.
