RITMO will host a mini-symposium lead by Thusha Rajendran and Jim T?rresen in which researchers from Heriot-Watt University and the UK’s National Robotarium, and University of Oslo will co-present work including human to robot trust from the UKRI-funded TAS Node on Trust Project.
Technological change is taking place at as seemingly ever increasing pace, for example with the arrival of Large Language Models such as GPT-4o – and developments in Generative AI. So, as well as presenting current research we will outline some future directions in which socially assistive robots research may take.
Please note if you cannot attend in person, you can attend remotely by Zoom. Zoom link will be sent out shortly before start.
