Vuoden 2024 robokiertue sai päätöksen Kuuselakeskuksessa: ensi keväänä jatkamme robottikiertuetta ulkoilun merkeissä

Tämä blogiteksti kertoo robokiertueesta Kuuselakeskuskuksessa. Kuten kahdessa aiemmassakin hoivakodissa, tämäkin kiertue sisälsi kolme käyntiä erilaisten robottien kanssa, ja paljon keskustelua osallistuvien ikäihmisten kanssa. Miten robokiertue tällä kertaa sujui? Sen saat tietää lukemalla koko jutun!

What an experience! Attending Humanoids 2024 in Nancy, France

I recently attended the Humanoids 2024 conference in Nancy, France (November 22nd–24th) to present a paper for the MediaRoboLit 65+ project. The paper addressed accessibility issues in human-robot interaction with the elderly. Initially, I expected to see research mainly related to cute, toy-like robots like Nao and Pepper.

It was a dark, stormy night..

It was a dark, stormy, long night... but it didn't matter because luckily I had 120 beautiful digital stories to be watched! So I sat back, had some pop corn, and enjoyed! University lecturer's work and even grading can be actually very nice, when you make students to do cool assignments.

From Robot Dogs to Cow Buddies: Highlights from AhlmanEdu’s AI Forum

You know those days that just stand out? Friday 6th September was one of those! Our team from Robostudio at Tampere University, including Apa (Aparajita Chowdhury), Aino Ahtinen, and me (Veronika Žigraiová), had an absolute blast at AhlmanEdu during the Työelämäfoorumi: AI and swarm intelligence. Sounds fancy, but it was pure fun!

Cracking the Code of Non-Anthropomorphic Expressions in Mixed Fleet Environment in Germany

Ever wondered how to make a robot expressive without turning it into a mini-Terminator? Well, that's exactly what I was exploring during my month-long research exchange visit in Germany.
