This is a UWE Bristol Social Science in the City event celebrating Disability History Month
In this time of rapid social change to our social and work lives, relationships and leisure, there are new technologies that might support disability rights like ‘driverless cars’, smart phones, social media and new robotic technologies. Members of the team of 25 co-researchers from the University of the West of England, Fairfield Farm College and Wiltshire Centre of Independent Living used a knowledge café methodology to ask
How can robotic technologies support disability rights?
The robotic tour will take place on Microsoft teams which includes the option of live captioning, and a BSL interpreter will be available. The tour will be scripted and this script will be available in advance to those registered (and at request afterwards), this script will include descriptions of everything mentioned on the tour . A recording of the robotic tour is also available for those who wish to engage in their own time.
Your tour will take place between 2-4pm.
To book your online 20-minute tour of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory Assisted Living Studio with Professor Praminda Caleb-Solly please email – [email protected].
