Cristina talks about the impact off the ever growing set of tasks that robots can perform and that they can start taking taking decisions like humans do.
In 2013 she organized events in Finland during European robotics week and found that many people was very interested but that there was also a big lack of knowledge.
She calls of more visions on how we can use robotics to address the challenges society face today. She is especially interested in three areas,
Demography, many countries are facing a big change in the numbers of working to non working. She thinks that we need to develop technologies to address the needs of everyone and assure that it is accessible for everyone that needs it.
She also sees that robotics have a big role to play in exploring environments that are hostile to humans and that they can make it possible for us to better understand thees environments. This understanding will make it easier to address the most important issues in a efficient way.
Her third focus is making education accessible for everyone. When large transformations happen due to the introduction of new technologies it is very important to make it possible for everyone to participate and then education is critical. This is absolutely true for robotics.
She also talks about introducing robotics in society in a way that makes it easy for everyone to understand the benefits as this will make the process much easier. When people see the clear benefits in one field or situation they will be much more interested in bringing robotics in to their private or professional lives.
She also talks about the Bestick robot that helps people that can not eat by them self, and how profound this is, giving some one back an ability that most of us take for granted.
