Introducing the storytellers project
Published on Mar 25, 2018
We’re so excited to be introducing the first part of The Storytellers Project by Laura Boffi. This project aims to create a community of senior readers who volunteer to hold remote reading aloud sessions for children and their families. A robot called ‘Storybell’, powered by Makeblock’s mBot, is used by children at home, allowing them to connect with seniors willing to have a reading session.

Closing Keynote: Human-Centered AI for sustainability: Case Social Robots
Kaisa Väänänen
ISS ’21: ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces Conference
Abstract:
AI applications are entering all areas of society. While research and development in AI technologies have taken major leaps, AI’s sustainability perspectives are not extensively integrated in the development of AI applications. The first part of this talk addresses the founding questions of Human-Centered AI (HCAI) and proposes approaches that can be used to ensure that the sustainability needs are in the centre of AI development. Then, in the second part of the talk, examples from the context of studies of social robots are presented to highlight the HCAI concepts in practice. Finally, an outline for interdisciplinary sustainable AI design methodology is proposed.
