*ONLINE EVENT*
In an age when artificial intelligence, robotics and digital technologies are fundamentally changing the way we think and live, questions are emerging about what a robotic future means for human beings. Dr Chris Stanton will discuss establishing trust and symbiosis with artificial intelligence.
Dr Stanton has worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in Human–Machine Interaction at the MARCS Institute, Western Sydney University. He has conducted research in autonomous robotics, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction for a diverse range of applications. His current research focuses on how the behaviour and appearance of autonomous robots and artificial intelligence can influence people’s attitudes, decision-making processes, and task performance when working cooperatively with such systems. Examples include investigating the impact of a robot's bodily movement upon trust, teaching a robot to hear, using motion capture for teleoperation without kinematic models, and coaching robot soccer players.
