Geriatronics AI - IROS 2023

IROS 2023 - Full Day Workshop

Geriatronics: AI and Robotics for Health & Well-Being in Older Age

October 1, 2023
Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan, USA.

Submission Deadline Extended

This planned workshop aims to bring to light the current and envisioned robotic solutions in the context of Geriatronics and to raise awareness among policy-makers with respect to the technology to address recent challenges:

How the new generation of robotics and AI technology can address the challenges stemming from the increasing shortage and geographic disparities of care providers and the overburdened health-care?
How to build a new generation of accessible, intelligent assistive robotics technologies that enhance independence and self-determination for people with lived experience of disability?
How to improve adaptation, interaction, and acceptance?
How to address the natural morals and ethics and/or individual needs/dilemmas in a world of care-supporting robots?
