Designing Humanoids
How much should we learn from humans?

Full-day workshop
Integrating humanoid robots into everyday life is rapidly evolving, driven by advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics. However, to be accepted, humanoids must keep up with human capabilities. Considering the overwhelming complexity of human ability in performing motions, social interactions, learning, and cognitive decision-making processes, the challenge of designing such sophisticated (social) entities is evident.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers, engineers, ethicists, and industry professionals to examine situations where human behaviors, such as movements, ethical considerations, learning, and cognitive processes are considered the gold standard for emulation. It explores when emulating humans is the optimal approach and when it may not be conducive, especially in scenarios where robots surpass human capabilities.
