Innovative societies with virtual reality and robots

Innovative societies with virtual reality and robots: The welfare technology of the future

This village explores virtual reality and social robots with artificial intelligence, and how they are changing the way we live today. The technology is already starting to exist in the market. Governments feel pressured to take swift action to meet the challenges posed by aging populations (the "aging wave"). The village draws from interaction with ongoing research in the IMRO-Lab (imrolab.no) and aims at providing inspiration to help the students that choose the village, to build a showcase of the future of welfare technology.
