    Rethinking the Human-Robot Relationship

     

    Prof. Dikai Liu

    Distinguished Professor of the Robotics Institute at UTS

    Abstract

    As robotics and AI technologies continue to advance rapidly, the relationship between humans and robots (empowered with AI) is undergoing profound transformations. In this talk, the evolution of human-robot relationships will be reviewed. Technological advances, including the research conducted over the last 20 years at UTS, will be discussed. This talk will then discuss the dynamics of collaboration between humans and robots, examining issues such as trust, role change, human-centered design, computational modelling, and interface. To shape the future of human-robot relationships, many questions about ethical considerations, cultural perspectives, and regulations to govern the development and deployment of intelligent robotics technology will be discussed. By fostering dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders, our aim is to contribute to a more ethical and harmonious human-robot relationship.
