Hear from Hae Won Park, research scientist from the Personal Robots Group at MIT Media Lab (USA), and learn about her work with social robots.

The Personal Robots Group designs machines that learn and personalise to their users' needs and goals over long-term interaction. They have designed award-winning robots that fit engagingly into peer-to-peer teamwork and family life.

Practically Virtual is an exhibition of Virtual Reality experiences used in research, and teaching across STEM disciplines.  With contributions from UNSW and Design, EPICentre, Garvan, Red Cross Blood Service, the Museum of Human Disease, UNSW Lite Room.

We are heading into a world where robots will be an increasingly important part of our lives. This won’t just have an impact on the future of work, but on the future of everything. What will it mean if robots are our toys, our pets, our friends and our partners?  If robots can be everything from carers to warriors, what does this mean not just for human lives, but for the way we understand human intelligence, human values, and humanity itself?

A musical legacy in and of itself, this concert pays homage to the nature of artistic inheritance and influence that left many composers overlooked in favour of former colleagues.
