Webinar: Potential added-value of Artificial Intelligence-based solutions to improving the quality of care of seniors

There are many potential applications of AI in healthcare, particularly in the care of older people. This mainly refers to algorithm-based computing techniques that manage and analyze large data sets to make conclusions and predictions: from clinical decision support systems that can help detect delirium from medical records to wearable devices that can predict the risk of falls.

In this webinar, the needs and challenges of older people will be presented and defined and possible solutions based on artificial intelligence methods for specific application examples will be demonstrated.

Webinar: 12. Learn & Lunch – Challenges for SMEs: How can responsible AI be used as a competitive advantage (Deutsch)

Due to rising social expectations and new laws on the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI), it is becoming increasingly important for companies to ensure the trustworthiness and ethical acceptability of AI applications. However, instead of viewing these requirements merely as a challenge, they also offer companies the opportunity to innovate and differentiate themselves from the competition. The aim of this event is to jointly explore the business challenges in the area of responsible AI. It will also discuss how companies can proactively use these requirements to tap into new innovation opportunities and position themselves sustainably in the market.

Organized by GRdigital in cooperation with the Focus Topic Responsible AI and Expert Group Data Ethics, of the data innovation alliance

Info-Webinar IB Databooster and Artificial Intelligence

The Service à l’Innovation et à la Recherche (SIR) of the HES-SO is organizing a webinar on June 24, 2024 (12:00-13:00) to present two ideas supported by the Innosuisse Innovation Booster program.

Agenda (subject to change!)

08:30 – 09:00:Registration and Welcome Coffee
09:00 – 09:30:Opening Remarks by Swiss Cobotics Competence Center
and Innovation Boosters Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
09:30 – 10:30:Presentation of the challenges

Challenge 1: Coworking and Learning
  • With the participation of: Baptiste Busch, AICA and Maryam Reyazati, ZHAW
  • Understanding human practices within the context of human-robot interaction is crucial for robots to adjust their behaviors appropriately. However, this presents several challenges. Not only do technical tasks and ethical considerations come into play, but also the fact that different individuals interact in unique ways, making the development of universally applicable algorithms extremely difficult. Furthermore, ensuring precise communication and task allocation in the human-robot workflow is essential, especially considering the proximity between humans and robots.

    Challenge 2: Data Management
  • With the participation of: Jensen Björn, HSLU and Yves Albers, Roboto AI
  • Most robots work with both filtered and uncensored data, not only for robot training and learning tasks but also directly acquired in-process by physical sensors. Nowadays, tasks such as training may require a large amount of data. This can be challenging in terms of data overload, costs of data analytics integration, and robust data management practices.

    10:30 – 10:45:Coffee Break
    10:45 – 12:15:Breakout groups
    12:15 – 13:45:Networking Lunch
    13:45 – 14:45:Presentation of the challenges

    Challenge 3: Responsibe Collaboration
  • With the participation of: Andreas Hufschmid, Pilz Switzerland and Andrei Cramariuc, RSL – ETH
  • Both humans and machines occasionally fail at specific tasks, making it essential to consider failure scenarios in developing robust interaction frameworks. By understanding and leveraging failure data, we aim to improve the design, development, control, and robustness robots, ensuring more resilient and adaptive human-robot interactions. To achieve this, we will explore methods for identifying and capturing failure events, analyzing their causes, and utilizing this data to improve the reliability and performance of robotic systems.

    Challenge 4: Self-improvement of Robots
  • With the participation of: Sina Mirrazavi and Sylvain Calinon, Idiap Research Institute
  • One aspect of robustness involves the capacity for a robot to enhance its knowledge and behavior autonomously. This means it should possess a degree of flexibility to adapt and apply abilities to new situations as needed. Achieving this context-driven, adaptive autonomy, which relies on common-sense knowledge and practical manipulation tasks, demands extensive programming and often involves on-platform data management & analytics.

    14:45 – 15:00:Coffee Break
    15:00 – 16:30:Breakout groups
    16:30 – 17:00:Conclusions: Sharing Discussions and Findings
