Robots Are People, Too

Collaborative Robotics

Robots Are People, Too will provide a sneak preview into an exploration of collaborative robotics within the VOJEXT project. In a world where industrial robotics remain vastly hidden from the public eyes, this S+T+ARTS DIH project addresses some of the more delicate societal implications of new emerging technologies. The role artists have in the project, notably, signifies a rethinking of the value systems embedded in industrial robotics. They brought to light the underlaying technological agencies, as well as the fragile relations between robots, workers, developers and business. During the event, the audience will be remotely invited to see how artists and technologies are using and developing their robots. Following live demonstrations, participants will discuss insights from the project.
