Robots Are People, Too provides a sneak preview into an exploration of collaborative robotics within the VOJEXT STARTS project. Our speakers report live from their labs and show what they are currently working on. Following the live demonstrations, they discuss insights from the project. 

Among the speakers is artist Madeline Gannon, who developed Mimus, the curious industrial robot. Viewers also meet Francesco Rea, who is working as a researcher in robotics brain and cognitive sciences at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologi. Since 2009, he has promoted the research in the field of humanoid robotics. A glimpse of the state of the art in collaborative robotics will be provided by researchers from the LifeSTech lab at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.

This event took place online on September 9, from 14.30 to 16.00h.
