In this course, we aim to introduce you to the myriad considerations a social roboticist would need to keep in mind when introducing robotics into a new area. The traditional place for robots, the factory floor, is seeing record numbers. According to the International Federation of Robots, there are somewhere around 1.8 million industrial robots in operation around the world today. But there are actually 30 million robots in US homes. And that&#8217;s not even counting the Alexas, the Siris, the smart home devices, the sidewalk delivery robots, the grocery store robots, the apartment security guard robots, the hospital service robots that many of us are increasingly encountering, as we visit friends, as we run errands, and as we go shopping. And soon, even your front yard and your neighborhood may be swarming with drones. NASA, as well as entrepreneurs and industry leaders, are working quickly to open up our skies to urban air mobility where drones can deliver small packages and passengers can zip across town in the air over the traffic. So, the way to make this new breed of robots is not to build arbitrarily smarter or more powerful robots, but to rethink what we expect from the technology. Further, the meteoric growth in artificial intelligence and the rise of human-robot interaction (HRI) has increased the demand for professionals who can harness the massive power of robotics and automation.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations need talent with the right combination of skills to bridge the technical aspects of robotics and the strategic imperative for business cases. This workshop offers an immersive curriculum where you can strengthen your understanding of real-world social robotic systems, human-robot interaction, and the very real challenges of implementing robotic systems in society.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>WORKSHOP SPEAKERS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2529 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/washingtondc2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/anshu.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/washingtondc2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/anshu.png 672w, https:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/washingtondc2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/anshu-243x300.png 243w, https:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/washingtondc2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/anshu-620x766.png 620w, https:\/\/ieomsociety.org\/washingtondc2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/anshu-158x195.png 158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Anshu Saxena Arora, Ph.D., PMP<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Tenured Associate Professor of Marketing<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>School of Business and Public Administration<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong> University of the District of Columbia (UDC)<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Washington, DC<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>United States<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Anshu Saxena Arora, Ph.D., PMP is the Tenured Associate Professor of Marketing at the School of Business and Public Administration in the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), Washington, DC.
