DESCRIPTION:Man-Machine Collaboration: Intelligent Systems as Robots I\, II
 \n\nDr. Sridhar Raghavan\n\nMy long term research has been on Intelligent 
 Man-Machine Collaboration\, especially on creative problem solving activit
 ies like Decision Making\, Software Development\, and Music. Needless to s
 ay on tasks that have substantial amount of digressing tedious chores from
  a Human Perspective. This reiteratives an important point that Machines h
 ave to be subservient to Humans (in responsible ways) across the full cont
 inuum from idiot savants to loosely-coupled autonomous systems. In this re
 gard User-Directed Automation and User Productivity are far more critical 
 than mere usability aspects.\n\nWhile Robots conjures up an inevitable str
 eotype connotations of electro-mechanical systems\, I am far more interest
 ed in getting Software Systems deliver productivities and performance in a
 ll collaboration tasks\, that may not resemble much like Robotics domains 
 at all. My central conjecture is that Systems are actually Robots\, and Ro
 bots are Systems and they share a lot of things in common about collaborat
 ion and productvity that can be applied & should be applied to both seamle
 ssly.\n\nI will illustrate and drive this "Perspective" shift\, and its im
 portance\, through many common use case examples as well as projections of
  this shift for future especially for AI\, LLM and Agentic systems.\n\nThi
 s webinar will be the first Part with second part slated for the October t
 imeframe.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/493063
