The value of the European Union shines specially in times of crisis. Given the strong spreading capacity and mortality rate of the COVID 19, the European Commission seeks to make healthcare systems more efficient in order to sustain European society. The Artificial Intelligence
Why is social uptake of interactive robots lagging behind in Europe?
The European Commission is funding INBOTS – Inclusive Robotics for a Better Society – with the purpose to create a community hub that can bring together experts to debate and create a responsible research and innovation paradigm for robotics. Work
The role of labour jurists in the digital revolution
In the technological context described today as the 4th Industrial Revolution, which is more than just a description of technology-driven change, we jurists are obliged to understand the phenomenon. First, understand it, define it and delimit it; then, explain it
WP3: UNISI, leader on tasks for development of educational programs.
We interviewed Monica Malvezzi, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Siena and the INBOTS project coordinator in the WP3. Which is the role of IUVO in the INBOTS project? The researchers of the University of Siena involved in
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics: Threat or Opportunity?
Robots, replicators, automatons, androids… are some of the different names given to self-moving machines. From the animated statues and hydraulic devices of the Middle Ages to the duck of Vaucanson, through the Greek myths that imagined fireworks, robots and self-propelled statues that have captivated the imagination and fed fears about the possibility of creating intelligence and artificial life. Today, the technology dreamt of by myths and sought after by protoengineers of various eras is already possible.
The elderly’s involvement in technology
According to a KTH study (Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm), older people’s involvement in technology matters, but it hasn’t reached its full potential. Technology holds a huge potential to help improve the elderly’s life quality. However, there still are
INBOTS: The Transition towards a Robotics Society
