I was joined by Dr Patrick Holthaus, a Reader in Interactive Assistive Technology at the University of Hertfordshire, Dr Nicole Salomons, a Lecturer at Imperial College London, Dr Gerard Canal, a Lecturer in Autonomous Systems at King\u2019s College London, and Dr Carolina Fuentes Toro, a Lecturer in Human-Computer Interaction and Human-Robot Interaction at the University of Cardiff. This event was part of the Festival of Tomorrow\u2019s Hawking Building Series \u2014 a series of four evening events organised at the Science and Innovation Park in Swindon. I\u2019d like to say thanks again to the Festival of Tomorrow for inviting me to be part of this fantastic imitative. The Festival of Tomorrow is an annual festival bringing together researchers, programmers, artists and performers to share discoveries, research, knowledge and ideas that will shape our shared future.
