DESCRIPTION:Social robots are robots designed to interact and communicate 
 directly with humans. Yet\, many of these current robots operate in restri
 ctive social environments. In order for these machines to operate effectiv
 ely in the real world\, they must be capable of understanding the many fac
 tors that contribute to human social interaction. One such factor is emoti
 onal intelligence. Emotional intelligence (EI) allows one to consider the 
 emotional state of another in order to motivate\, plan\, and achieve their
  goals. This presentation will first highlight current techniques in artif
 icial intelligence that incorporate aspects of EI in human-robot interacti
 ons. This ability is especially important for applications involving child
 ren who are often still learning social skills. However\, many approaches 
 in artificial EI have not critically considered children in their target p
 opulations. The latter portion of this presentation will feature current r
 esearch projects ethically and responsibly designing EI for robots capable
  of interacting with children.\n\nRegister "here":https://wolfson-cam-ac-u
