Online presentation Q&A with Julie Shah , Author of "What To Expect When You're Expecting Robots". The next generation of robots will be truly social, but can we make sure that they play well in the sandbox? This makes them social entities, so, as robot designers Laura Major and Julie Shah argue, whether they make our lives better or worse is a matter of whether they know how to behave. What to Expect When You’re Expecting Robots offers a vision for how robots can survive in the real world and how they will change our relationship to technology.
Julie Shah is a roboticist at MIT and an associate dean of social implications and responsibilities of computing. She directs the Interactive Robotics Group in the Schwarzman College of Computing at MIT.
