Assistive robotics has the potential to change our lives, for example by enabling us to live independently at home for longer. We will look at what technology does not yet exist and how to design new robots to do their job efficiently and safely while meeting everyone’s needs. We will discuss some ongoing projects exemplifying best practices and unpack the opportunity that is opening up to generate new lines of business.
