Generations in Dialogue: Human-robot interactions and social robotics with Professor Marynel Vasquez

Generations in Dialogue: Bridging Views in AI is a podcast from AAAI that includes thought-provoking discussions between AI specialists, practitioners, and fanatics from totally different age teams and backgrounds. Every episode delves into how generational experiences form views on AI, exploring the challenges, alternatives, and moral issues that include the development of this transformative know-how.

Human-robot interactions and social robotics with Professor Marynel Vázquez

Within the fourth episode of this new collection from AAAI, host Ella Lan chats to Professor Marynel Vázquez about what impressed her analysis course, how her perspective on human-robot interactions has modified over time, robots navigating the social world, potential for utilizing robots in training, modeling interactions as graphs, addressing misunderstandings close to robots in society, getting enter from goal customers, the problem of recognising when errors occur, making robots that adapt, and extra.

About Professor Marynel Vázquez:

Marynel Vázquez is a pc scientist and roboticist whose analysis focuses on Human-Robotic Interplay (HRI), notably in multi-party settings. She research social group dynamics—comparable to spatial conduct and social affect—in HRI, and develops notion and decision-making algorithms that allow autonomous, socially conscious robotic conduct. A central theme in her work is modeling interactions as graphs, permitting robots to cause about people, relationships, and teams concurrently. Her interdisciplinary method combines pc science, behavioral science, and design, and he or she enjoys constructing new robotic methods and analysis infrastructure to convey theoretical concepts into real-world apply.
