Robots in Human Spaces: Designing Coexistence
A discussion around the coexistence of robots and humans with experts from the Bay Area and Switzerland.
Robots are not limited to factories and manufactures anymore and are entering our streets with Waymos and Teslas, our homes with smart vacuum cleaners and soon potentially with Figures, and worksites. From construction sites to our homes, from infrastructure maintenance to social care, the way robots slowly but surely integrate into human spaces is defined by how society is embracing or resisting this new wave of embodied intelligence.
Join us for an afternoon of discussions and networking as we explore the topic with robotic experts and designers: How can robots safely, socially, and meaningfully operate in everyday environments. How are we designing coexistence?
A panel discussion with Swiss robotics innovators and a Bay Area expert will address questions like the biggest barriers to adoption, and the partnerships needed between technologists, policymakers, and communities to design robots that people trust.
Speakers:
Antonio Paolillo, Senior Researcher at Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IDSIA)
Victor Klemm, PhD Student at Robotic Systems Lab, ETH Zurich
Moderator: Lesya Hendrix, Founder & CEO at Spacer Robotics
