Robots have long left their industrial settings. Next to everyday phenomena like vacuum cleaning robots we encounter the first autonomous “social robots” – for example in the domains health and care.

And some of them walk towards us with a smile on their face…

In the lecture of this year’s Kids’ university in Offenburg on July 20 we will look at several best practices – starting from “local hero” SWEATY to PARO, NAO and the Care-O-Bot. Together with the children (aged 8 to 12 years) we will discuss where we want robots to accompany and help us – and where we prefer to stay by ourselves.
