Joint Symposium on Social Robotics (UNSW & UWS)
The seventh edition of ‘Joint UAE Symposium on Social Robotics’ (JSSR 2022) is part of the World Expo 2020 Dubai program at the Australia pavilion. The multidisciplinary program brings together renowned technology developers, roboticists, and social scientists from across the globe to discuss the state of the art in social robotics. Join the event in person or remotely, meet the experts, check out the latest innovations in the field, and share your ideas to design our future with robots.
An interdisciplinary symposium
Co-organised by leading universities in UAE and Australia and sponsored by the Council for Australian-Arab Relations, the seventh edition of ‘Joint UAE Symposium on Social Robotics’ (JSSR 2022) is part of the program of the Australian Pavilion at Dubai Expo. The multidisciplinary program brings together renowned technology developers, roboticists, and social scientists from across the globe to discuss the state of the art in social robotics. Join the event in person or remotely, meet the experts, check out the latest innovations in the field, and share your ideas to design our future with robots.
The future is here
A future in which robots will be our social companions and will assist us in many of our activities is quickly approaching. To get ready for tomorrow, a new kind of integrated research is gaining unprecedented traction: the study of interactions between humans inspires the development of more sophisticated autonomous agents, scaffolding the creation of the next generation of social robots. At the same time, the study of interactions between intelligent social machines and people provides insights into human social cognition and can inform and validate the explanatory and predictive models advanced by the social sciences.
Social robotics
Social robotics connects these two trends, bringing together expertise from different scientific and technological areas such as human-robot interaction, software engineering, artificial intelligence, social and cognitive psychology, the behavioural and brain sciences, social cognition theory, cognitive philosophy and philosophical psychology. Various approaches to cognitive robotics, including developmental, evolutionary, embodied/situated, and “soft” robotics build on the results achieved in these areas.
