v. Amit Kumar Pandey, Head Principal Scientist,
Softbank Robotics

Robots have never co-existed with us as closely as they do now. AI has been with us for decades, and is now embodied in robots which makes it possible for robotic technologies to help us in our day-to-day life. The technologies are converging towards creating a smarter eco-system of living, where social robots will be able to co-exist with us in harmony, for a smarter, healthier, safer and happier life. Such robots are supposed to be socially intelligent and behave in socially expected and accepted manners. Learn more about where we are now and what the future trends are.
