UTS Research Excellence Lecture: Rethink the Human-Robot Relationship
We are pleased to share the following event, part of the UTS Faculty of Engineering and IT Research Excellence series, featuring IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Distinguished Lecturer, Professor Dikai Liu.
As robotics and AI technologies propel forward, the intricate bond between humans and AI-powered robots undergoes profound shifts. This talk delves into the evolutionary journey of human-robot relationships, drawing insights from UTS's two-decade-long research. It explores collaboration dynamics, spanning trust-building, role adaptation, human-centric design, computational modelling, and interface development. Ethical considerations, cultural perspectives, and regulatory frameworks governing intelligent robotics technology are scrutinized to foster a future where human-robot interactions thrive ethically and harmoniously. Join us in shaping the ethical and dynamic landscape of human-robot relationships.
