00:00Let's talk about an element and an area in which we are protagonists, the interaction between man and machine, let's talk about
00:06even social robotics.
00:08The question we ask ourselves is therefore how competitive we are in Europe, and how much we could be.
00:13One of the greatest responsibilities we certainly face is that of education,
00:19that is, to support research also to understand how technological innovation actually works
00:25and the introduction of artificial intelligence into education systems and teaching systems as well
00:30could then have an impact on future generations.
00:34Software can analyze exactly what we are doing, what we are seeing, what we are feeling.
00:39because with the small sensors on the glasses we can also reconstruct emotions.
00:44However, imagine the AI industry in general as a new large industry that will employ a huge number of professionals.
00:52so there is a need for this transversality.
00:56The research day was not conceived as a simple academic activity
01:01but as a real celebration, all geared towards discovery.
01:06When we talk about social robotics and human-robot interaction, the concept of physical AI comes into play.
01:12We are now used to interacting with AI through a screen
01:15but if we put AI inside a physical body we can achieve much more and the challenges become
01:22more complex.
01:23Multiple disciplines come into play, including psychology, languages, and social sciences.
01:28The goal is to try to understand how people perceive a machine that is increasingly similar to humans.
01:33It's not enough to do it in the laboratory.
01:36In the speech we conducted a so-called test in the wild, that is, a field experiment in the Garbatella neighborhood
01:42with social interaction in a complex and unpredictable urban environment.
01:46Today we experienced how the combination of artificial intelligence and robots can become a vehicle for sociality
01:54and can help spread culture.
01:57We saw that it can also spread music.
