Building Responsible Generative AI for the Future of Human-Robot Teams - Symposium 2024

Robots powered by Generative AI models made impressive advances, particularly in their interaction with humans in complex environments and tasks. However, unlocking their full potential required responsible design and development to ensure safety, ethics, and usefulness.
This was the focus of Oliver Lemon's talk at the Hi! PARIS Symposium 2024, where he explored these challenges and opportunities through various projects at the National Robotarium and Alana AI. The discussion delved into projects such as social robots for elder care (EC SPRING), support for stroke patients (EC RESQ+), assistance for the visually impaired (RNIB), and collaboration on missions in simulated environments (Amazon SimBot challenge). Through these case studies, key considerations for the responsible development of situated and embodied Generative AI were identified, paving the way for future advances in collaborative human-robot teams.
