Listen "Episode 1: Robots and AI"
Episode Synopsis
Could robots lead to 'a better tomorrow'?
It’s been a hundred years since the word ‘robot’ was first used*, but it feels like we might be another century away from seeing them in our daily lives. Is that the case?
To find out, we talk to the founder of a company that rents and sells robots, an academic who’s working on the ethics of robot/human interactions, and a PhD student who’s studying fairness in machine learning.

Anouk Van Maris – NB. We caught up with Anouk while editing this episode, and she’s now graduated (congratulations!) so she’s no longer a PhD student, and she is now working as a postdoctoral research assistant for the RoboTIPS project working on implementing an ‘ethical black box’.
