Will robots steal our jobs?
Don’t we need more robots?
Electrical engineering & computer science
Architecture
Aerospace engineering
Mechanical engineering
Industrial design
Technology, policy and management
cooperation between 6 faculties
• Humans & robots working side by side
• Large potential for food, agriculture, building industry, logistics, etc.
Human robot collaboration
Service robots, exoskeletons, teleoperation & haptics
Interactive service and healthcare robots
Integration of robots in human society
• Robot: Computer with hands • Actuation on environment
• Important issues • Safety • Level of autonomy • human-robot interaction
• Physical and cognitive levels • collaboration and shift of authority between humans and robots
• Acquired intelligence • Machine learning • Global learning: all robots learn together
• Robot responsibility • Insurance • Ethics, morality
Sense of urgency
• Lack of manpower in westernized societies
• More added value per employee in production in order to keep up our wealthy standard of living and to compete with low wage countries
• Many new applications and services will evolve, similarly as has happened after the introduction of computers.
• Competition between westernized countries (Germany, USA, Japan, China) in modern manufacturing in important areas as agriculture, high-precision devices, high-variety products, etc.

Less people to take care...
...from 11,75 working people per
senior in 1950...
...to 3,90 in 2050...
Robotics in Healthcare
• Physical assistance of healthcare workers
• Rehabilitation
• Patient lifting
• Assistive devices
• Exoskeleton for walking
• Gyrobackpack for balance
• Care robot
• Robot companions
• Charlie
• LEA: Lean Elderly Assistant
Rehabilitation Therapy
LOPES University of Twente
Diagnostic robots
• Neurological disorders

LEA: Lean Elderly Assistant
• LEA is an autonomous
stroller
• that helps you live an
independent live
• supports walking, sitting
and standing
• gives you exercises and
dances with you
• comes to you when you
call her
• reminds of appointments
and to-do’s
• communicates with family
and friends
• alerts when falling, and
calls the caregiver

Future plans: “Seamlessly integrating robots in human society”
• Nationwide consortium on robotics
• TUD, TU/e, UT, VU, RU, UU
• Robots as new species in evolution:
• Global learning
• Simple and dedicated vs complex and general
• Domesticating robots !
• Safety, responsibility, psychology, social sciences
• Robot ‘free zone’ in the city of Delft
• Application areas:
• Home, public environment, industry, agriculture, healthcare
Take-home message
• New generation of robots is under way
• Assisting care givers
• Assisting patients
• Becoming a companion
