Nebraska lab looks at future care
Robots can already vacuum our floors, help manufacture cars, provide security and entertain children and adults alike, but how could robotics revolutionize care and maintenance in home and institutional settings?
A team from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts is imagining the future of care and is inviting the public to co-create with them.
Ash Eliza Smith, assistant professor of emerging media arts; Sam Bendix, creative technologist; and Reid Brockmeier, creative technologist, set up the temporary Speculative Robotics Lab and is welcoming visitors during open lab hours on Fridays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., through March 28. The lab is in the Innovation Advancement Suites, Suite 1250, Office 8, in Innovation Commons, 2021 Transformation Drive.
