DESCRIPTION:What do robots need to be able to effectively help people? How
  can we equip robots with the skills to understand human states\, predict 
 human intentions and assist in an intelligent and supportive manner? Using
  examples from  research at Imperial College’s Personal Robotics Laborat
 ory\, Professor Demiris will demonstrate that assistance personalisation i
 s a key competence that future helper robots will need to possess. Join us
  as we explore how robots can assist kids with disabilities\, people with 
 chronic conditions or mobility problems\, or even help us with our car dri
 ving.\n \nOur speaker will draw inspiration from intelligent sensing\, mac
 hine learning\, human factors\, and robot design to give us a glimpse of h
 ow robots can help people’s wellbeing.\n \nProfessor Yiannis Demiris hea
 ds the Personal Robotics Laboratory at Imperial College London\, where he

 tions in healthcare\, in-vehicle intelligence\, and support for children a
 nd adults with disabilities. He is a Fellow of the IET\, BCS and RSS\, and
