We are very pleased to share the following photos and videos taken during the event series on responsible robotics and robot ethics we hosted last month. Please note that additional photos from these events can be seen on the Rotman Institute Flickr account. Thank you to Philippos Papayannopoulos for taking these wonderful photos!


Panel Discussion: Responsible Robotics: Shaping a future with robots worth wanting
The series began with an engaging, and very informative panel discussion held downtown at Wolf Hall on March 15. The diverse backgrounds and expertise of the panelists made for a lively discussion, and the thoughtful questions from the audience made for a fantastic Q&A.
