This podcast series focuses on how humans and robots interact with each other. We explore this relationship with philosophers, engineers, psychologist and artists. We are looking into the ethical implications of this new technology and how we can make it work for humans. We shine light on the technologies that make robots intelligent and useful. But this podcast is not only about the science, but also about the people behind the science. What motivates them? How did their career work out? What does it mean to be a student in this area? My name is Christoph Bartneck and I am a professor at the University of Canterbury. Join me in this exciting podcast journey in which we will better understands what it means to be a robot and what it means to be a human.
