HCPP20 - PETR SVARNY - I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords

A digital totality would not be complete without also having a physical dimension - robots. While the public perception of robots seems to split between bloodthirsty killing robots and a robot servant at home, the actual robot landscape is far more interesting. This talk outlines the obstacles on these paths to robot-based digital totalities by pointing towards state-of-the-art research or industrial practice. And it does this with the use of a few SMBC strips and one XKCD quote.

Paralelní Polis is a one-­of-­a-­kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, and innovative thinking, and development of society are the main underlying foundations the whole project is built upon. The project intends to remain state-free as it operates entirely without support from the government, and most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of our donors and partly from commercial activities such as running a unique co-­working space and the world’s first bitcoin-­only cafe.
