DESCRIPTION:[b] Professor Norbert Krüger\, The Faculty of Engineering\, Th
 e Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Institute\, SDU Robotics\, and DIAS Chair of En
 gineering [/b] [nl] [nl] \n\n[b] Interactive robots: Status\, Problems an
 d Perspectives [/b] [nl] [nl] \n\nIndustrial Robots have transformed our 
 society since the 1960ths by being able to perform repetitive movements w
 ith high precision\, speed and strength. By that\, a large amount of stra
 ining and monotonous work that before had been performed by human workers
  could be replaced. The application areas of robots could be further exte
 nded by the introduction of sensors such as cameras: Today also flexible 
 and brittle objects that show a significant variation in shape (such as v
 egetables\, meat\, or fabrics) can be processed by robots. In addition\, 
 by simplifying robots programming – which was one of the reasons for the 
 worldwide success of Universal Robot – in the last decade also more and m
 ore Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have been enabled to apply robots
  in their production. \n[nl] [nl] \nIn addition to industrial robots\, al
 so mobile robots have been applied within production and warehouses and n
 owadays even appear in public spaces. However\, in case there is an unfor
 eseen situation such as a potential collision with a person\, these robot
 s tend to just stop instead of going into an interaction with the human t
 o resolve the situation. If we were able to model satisfying interactions
  and dialogues with humans\, robots could play an even larger role in our
  society by assisting humans\, for example in areas where hands are urgen
 tly needed such as elderly care. However\, the image presented by the med
 ia about what such assistive robots can do does not match reality.\n[nl] 
 [nl] \nIn my talk\, I will first give a short overview of the history of 
 robotics and the transformational effects they triggered and will then sh
 are some insights into the state of art of robots that already today are 
 able to operate in public spaces. The question “What makes human-robot-in
 teraction such a hard problem?” will then be the focus of my talk. At the
  end\, I dare to speculate about assistive robots in the near and far fut
 ure. \n[nl] [nl] \n\n[b] About: [/b] [nl] \nNorbert Krüger is Full Profes
 sor and new DIAS Chair of Engineering. He has been employed at the Univer
 sity of Southern Denmark since 2006. Since having finalized his Master’s 
 in mathematics and philosophy in 1993\, Norbert Krüger has established an
  interdisciplinary research and teaching profile at five universities in 
 three different countries. His research focuses on industrial robotics\, 
 machine learning and human-robot-interaction. \n[nl] [nl] \nIn the contex
 t of industrial robotics\, he coordinated two EU projects as well as a Da
 nish national project ReRoPro. His main scientific focus was on the learn
 ing of gripper structures for industrial applications by simulation and o
 ptimization. Today\, this approach is used in the I4.0 lab at SDU. From 2
 012 onwards\, Norbert Krüger supported the development of the Welfare Rob
 otics Group at SDU Robotics. \n[nl] [nl] \n[url=https://www.youtube.com/w
