Robots are getting ever more air time and we are starting to see them in more real-world situations. Robots hold tremendous promise, but they are still years away from delivering in human-robots interactions in business or social settings and adopting robots will take considerable time, thoughtfulness and compassion.
Join Janneke for an interactive session to discuss robots in the wild, how they will change the fabric of our society and workforce and specifically the opportunity for robots to support our aging population. She will talk about considerations for designing for adoption by older adults and commercial use.
