ETH Meets Berlin 2020
Online Event, 5 November 2020 - ETH Meets You at the Berlin Science Week 2020. Together we will connect the dots from Zurich to Berlin, from engineering to society, and from the present to the future.
rETHinking Obstacles: Telepresence and Bridges to the Future
Thriving in the face of significant adversity and overcoming obstacles is a unique human ability. Engineering embodies the resilience and inventiveness of the human spirit. It is this spirit that is, perhaps, best represented by the iconic bridges and viaducts of Switzerland. These soaring structures bridge gaps and make new connections – making the improbable possible. Join us and together we will connect the dots from Zurich to Berlin, from engineering to society, and from the present to the future. “Roboy,” an advanced humanoid robot developed using artificial intelligence, will create a special and real-time connection to a prominent ETH Zurich and Disney Research speaker. This symposium brings together a panel of unique perspectives – an anthropologist, a roboticist, and a scientist who will showcase how embodied telepresence robotics is already building exciting, unexpected, and unanticipated bridges.
Moderated by Chris Luebkeman, ETH Zurich
