Educational robots providing high-quality and inclusive education for all
0Robot tutors have started taking over the classrooms to support educators in enhancing children’s development and learning. Given the wide range of skills and abilities among students, AI-powered robots have the potential to facilitate more comprehensive and personalized learning by providing specific instructions and feedback to each child’s unique learning patterns and needs. \n\nTo have a positive impact on children’s personal and academic development, social robots must enhance well-being and happiness, while building trusting relationships without undermining human contact and friendship. In addition, ethical, privacy, safety, and liability considerations from the school community must be taken into account when designing and deploying educational robots. \n\nAt the intersection of robotics and learning, this AI for Good webinar explores how educational robots can augment human teaching and therapy to provide quality, accessible and inclusive education for all children. Find out some of the world-class robotic solutions that are bringing a brighter future to children around the world. \n\nSpeakers:\nLaura Boccanfuso\nVan Robotics\n\nOkan Dursun\nUnited Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth\n\nSneh Vaswani\nMiko\n\nPierre Dillenbourg\nEcole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne\n\nTony Prescott\nUniversity of Sheffield\nModerator(s):\n\nTony Belpaeme\nGhent University\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/AIforGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nWe have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.\nMore than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\nAI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
