Carleton University’s Faculty of Science will host computer scientist Angelica Lim during its annual Discovery Lecture on Monday, March 2, 2015. Lim will deliver a lecture entitled How To Build a Robot Brain: From Artificial Intelligence to Emotional Intelligence
Lim will answer the question: how far are we from making C3P-O and Rosie the Robot reality? She will explore the components of a robot brain – that is, its software – by looking under the hood of a real humanoid companion robot. After reviewing the latest research towards making robots human-like, especially in the field of using and understanding social and emotional cues, Lim will discuss what this research reveals about us as humans.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required here. Media are invited to attend.
When: Monday, March 2, 2015 from 7:30 p.m. until 9 p.m.
Where: 2nd Floor Residence Commons, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa
Established in 2002, the Discovery Lecture is designed to showcase and promote excellence in science journalism. The lecture is sponsored jointly by the Faculty of Science and the School of Journalism and Communication and is held annually in the winter semester.
About Angelica Lim:
Angelica Lim is a computer scientist specializing in artificial intelligence and robotics, with a BSc in Computing Science (specializing in Artificial Intelligence) from Simon Fraser University in Canada. During her PhD at Kyoto University, Japan, she built a new breed of robot emotion system, based on knowledge of human infant development. She has given two TEDx talks and appears regularly in the media for her work on signal processing and entertainment robotics. Her goal is to develop human-inspired models of emotions and intelligence in robots, to help people to better understand robots and how they can assist humans. She was the first employee at Aldebaran Japan working on the new humanoid robot, named Pepper. She is presently a software engineer leading the emotion team at Aldebaran Robotics in Paris.
