What: Smart Robotic Hospital to Lead a Rich Life in Super Aging Society – Innovative Nursing and Rehabilitation Robot.

Abstract: We have developed a robot that accompanies healthcare professionals making rounds in wards at hospitals. This novel robot mainly executes two tasks: carrying armamentarium and recording data on rounds. An omnidirectional mobile mechanism and a human tracking control system to follow a specified medical professional realize smooth transfer movement from a nurses station to wards. Data on rounds is automatically recorded by a CCD camera and a voice recorder. When the robot is connected via a cable to a medical data server, the robot transmits patients’ data to the server and receives new patients’ information.

Guest speakers: Gianmarco Veruggio, Chair of the Scientific Committee, Scuola di Robotica, Genoa, Italy

What: Roboethics: ethical, legal and social aspects of robotics

Abstract: Roboethics is ethics applied to robotics, i.e., the human-centered ethics guiding the design, construction and use of robots.  It deals with the study of the ethical, legal and social aspects of the introduction and use of robots in our daily lives.  Progress in the field of computer science and tele-communications allows us to endow machines with enough intelligence so that they already can act autonomously (to some degree).  However, as the application domains for robots are increasing and robots are coming out of the factory halls, robotics research is increasingly raising ethical implications, related to the emerging interactions between robots and human beings.  Roboethics shares many “sensitive areas” with computer ethics, information ethics, bioethics and not only roboticists, but also.

 

We are looking forward to seeing you.
