Uncanny & lovable: The future of emotional robots

Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino will discuss the usefulness of robots developing or understanding our emotions, as well as the design challenges and market opportunities for the field.


This event forms part of a series curated by Editor-at-large of Wired, Ben Hammersley.

Born in the world of books & movies, the development of useful robots has been inching closer to becoming part of our daily life. From military robots to digital artificial intelligence in "bots" to the surreal moving robots developed in Japan we will explore yet another theme of the robot conversation: emotions. In the first talk of this series, Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino will discuss the usefulness of robots developing or understanding our emotions, as well as the design challenges and market opportunities for the field.
