Abstract

Drawing on examples from several research projects at the National Robotarium and Alana AI, including SPRING (social robots for elder care), RES-Q+ (spoken dialogue to support stroke patients), and RNIB (assistive visual dialogue for partially-sighted people), I will discuss lessons learned and research directions in developing future generative AI systems to support human wellbeing.
