She will also share her experience on designing robotic experiments for children\, and ethical use of AI and data in studies involving vulner able groups.\n\nBIO:\n\nHatice Kose holds a PhD in computer engineering an d she is a full-time professor in AI and Robotics at the Faculty of Comput er and Informatics Engineering\, Istanbul Technical University (ITU)\, Tur key. She is the founder and coordinator of the Cognitive Social Robotics L ab\, and Game and Interaction Technologies Lab. She is involved with the a dministration of AI and Data Engineering Department\, Computer Engineering \, and Game and Interaction Technologies Graduate programs.\n\nShe is an I EEE Senior Member and has been working in Robotics and Artificial Intellig ence for more than 20 years.\n\nHer research focuses on developing affecti ve and social robotic systems for children with disabilities over a decade . Her expertise includes the Ethical use of AI in human centric applicatio ns\, especially applications involving vulnerable groups and AI for Good. She pioneered in robotics for sign language tutoring\, robotics and AI bas ed research for children with hearing impairments. Her research team is de veloping robotic applications for humanoid robots and affective models inc luding ML/DL models for emotion/stress/interaction recognition especially for children\, in both application and theoretical levels. Their main moti vation is to develop affective social robots for education\, therapy and h ealth applications using these models.\n\nShe is part of several national and international research projects funded by European Union in collaborat ion with the leading European research facilities and universities\, invol ving robotic and AI assisted health applications for children with disabil ities such as hearing impairment\, autism and cerebral palsy. Recently\, h er work is recognized by the EELISA European consortium\, and she received 1st EELISA Diversity Award in October\, 2023 with her research activities .\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/451115 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/451115 ORGANIZER:gunes.kurt@polymtl.ca SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Seminar: Prof. Hatice Kose - Affective Social Robots\, Emotions and Ethical AI for Children with Disabilities URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/451115 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN-U S">In her talk</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp\;</span><strong><sp an lang="TR">Prof. Hatice KOSE </span></strong>will be presenting some of her recent robotic and AI based projects for children with disabilities an d the emotion recognition models her team developed on different data moda lities such as vision\, audio\, and physiological data and multimodal fusi on of these.
