Check out the other cool work being done at the Affective Intelligence and Robotics Lab where I'm completing my PhD: cambridge-afar.github.io Led by the inspiring Prof. Hatice Gunes! Shout out also to Prof. Micol Spitale who is behind much of the architecture running inside QT.

I mentioned key findings from our research, including how robots should interact, behave and look to promote our well-being. Interestingly, appearance really matters: a toy-like robot was perceived to have more friendly behaviour than a human-like robot. Even when the robots were behaving the same!

Congratulations! Such a great project 🦾

Ooh what robot is this? I don’t think I’ve seen it before!

Of interest - Unesco report ”I'd blush if I could: closing gender divides in digital skills through education”. Addresses how having male-dominated AI design and engineering teams results in bad and sexist designs like this. unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/p...
