• Robots are people, too | Exploring collaborative robotics through art

'Robots are people, too' - will provide a sneak preview into an exploration of collaborative robotics within the VOJEXT project. 
In a worldwhere industrial robotics remain vastly hidden from the public eyes, this S+T+ARTS DIH project addresses some of the more delicate societal implications of new emerging technologies.
