Professor Sethu Vijayakumar, Professor of Robotics, delivers the first lecture in the 2015 Our Changing World series, entitled Sharing Autonomy (and responsibility): The robots are ready, are you? Learning and self-adapting robots have finally arrived. This lecture will look at technological advances in robotics that have made this leap possible, and open a discussion on the trade-off between autonomy and control that we are willing to admit to reap maximal benefits. Recorded on 29 September 2015 at the University of Edinburgh's George Square Lecture Theatre.
