Blueprint for the Future

On Monday 13 October 2014 the Dutch Night of Science and Society took place (Avond van Wetenschap en Maatschappij; www.avondwenm.nl) in the Ridderzaal in the Hague.

During this yearly event scientists and non-scientists from different fields discussed topics with each other on the theme Blueprint for the future – the science of today is the world of tomorrow. One of the topics was the introduction of social robots. Prof. Peter-Paul Verbeek introduced the topic of social robots in society to the table and Daphne Karreman supported the discussions with examples taken from the FROG project.
