TALKS AND PRESENTATIONS

On the 16th of March, we ran our third Worker-Robot Relations (WRRs) workshop at the Human-Robot Interaction Conference in Edinburgh.

On the 19th of November, I was invited to present my research endeavours at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), which, amongst great accomplishments in computing and the internet in Europe, is considered the birthplace of the Python programming language.  I presented my work on spatial computing for automated vehicle and pedestrian interactions, as well as for critical interfaces in control rooms. I also explored my current work in applied technological solutions for th
