SPRITE+ Lunch and Learn with Emily C. Collins: 'Where's the Trust?'

In this talk, Dr. Collins will discuss the importance of understanding human interactions in RAI use.

Who are the users? Who are their employers? Who deploys the technology? And what do these mediating relationships have to do with knowing the best way to deploy RAI in the real-world?

Her experise span biomimetic, brain-based, therapeutic, and industrial, robotics; HRI methodology development; and ethical and theoretical consideration of Robotics and AI (RAI). Her key research themes include trustworthiness and verification; responsibility and accountability; and the centrality of human psychology and socio-political factors to effective RAI deployment in the real world.
