Socially Assistive Robotics: A Possible Future of AI for Care | Maja Matarić | TEDxPaloAlto

Maja Matarić delves into the realm of human-centered AI with a focus on socially assistive robots. These robots redefine personalization, specifically designed to deeply care for and engage with one user at a time. By closely monitoring relevant behaviors, they offer tailored feedback and motivation. Leveraging cutting-edge AI technologies such as machine vision, multimodal perception (extending beyond vision to include audio, video, emotion, and affect recognition), and incorporating physiologic data in some instances, these robots represent a pinnacle of advanced technology. They employ machine learning to dynamically adapt to their users, fine-tuning interactions both in real-time and evolving over extended periods. Join Maja Matarić as she unveils the intricacies of these socially assistive robots, showcasing the convergence of sophisticated AI and personalized human interaction. Maja Matarić is a Chaired and Distinguished Professor of Computer Science, Neuroscience, and Pediatrics at the University of Southern California and Principal Scientist at Google DeepMind. Her PhD is from MIT. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, fellow of AAAS, IEEE, AAAI, and ACM, recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics & Engineering Mentoring, Anita Borg Institute Women of Vision, NSF Career, MIT TR35 Innovation, and IEEE RAS Early Career Awards, and authored "The Robotics Primer" (MIT Press). A pioneer of socially assistive robotics, her research is developing human-machine interaction methods for personalized support for users with challenges, including autism, stroke, dementia, anxiety, and other major health and wellness challenges. She is also co-founder of Embodied, Inc. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I want a boddabot to wipe my behind and help me stand when I am older - because I don't trust the young people who will be caring for me in 10 years to actually CARE .... so my bodybot can feed me, help me to bed and not abuse me when I have an accident
