Welcome to the 10th Furhat Conference on Social Robotics
Themed "Social robotics research in the age of AI” the conference will take place on Tuesday May 26th at 4:00-6:00 PM CET (10:00-12:00 PM EDT).
The rapid adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) marks a new chapter for social robotics research. Where past research often focused on scripted dialogues and constrained environments, today’s advancements in AI have opened the door for more autonomous, natural and meaningful interactions. At the conference, we will explore how research in social robotics is evolving with the adoption of LLMs and other cutting-edge AI technologies.
What is the conference?
The Furhat Conference series showcases cutting edge research in the global social robotics community, announces exciting new product updates and engages the world’s top minds in the fields of social robotics & conversational AI in thought-leading discussions.
Who should attend it?
This conference is for anyone who is interested in AI and robotics. It doesn’t matter how much technical knowledge you have, the conference is about exploring the AI transformation we are currently living through and understanding the important role robots will have as they become the interfaces through which AI can interact with the physical world.
What will the content look like?
Expect insightful discussions from the world’s leading scientists and experts on the most recent advances in AI and what they mean for social robotics development. We will continue to live by our ethos of running a conference that is both rich in content and high in entertainment value. Be ready to be blown away
