Planning for the robotic future that's already here
Manage episode 495378898 series 5467
While city streets teeming with robots might feel like a scene from a sci-fi movie, service robots are already commonplace in the public spaces of cities like Tokyo and Singapore. But while the technology forges ahead, the regulators that plan the public policies for our cities are being left behind, leaving a potential for a gulf between what populations needs from service robots and what is delivered. Professor Michael Mintrom shares the findings from his study into what policymakers need to consider when preparing for the robots of the future.
