11.30 - 12.00

Keynote 1, Johannes Uthoff-Hall

W. A. Rogers: Designing Robots to Improve Quality of Life for Older Adults

Advances in robot design have potential to support older adults but often are not designed with consideration for their interests, capabilities, limitations, needs, and preferences.  I will describe a framework for human-robot interaction that can guide the design process.  I will provide examples of our research focused on social and assistive robots supporting activities in the home including cognitive and physical support as well as telehealth applications.  I will discuss how robots can enable autonomy and independence for older adults with varying levels of cognitive and physical abilities.

12.00 - 12.20

Keynote 2, Johannes Uthoff-Hall

A. Ternès von Hattburg: Towards a Sustainable Future: Transforming Aging Societies for the Next Generation

Prof. Anabel Ternès delves into the pressing challenges faced by aging populations worldwide and proposes transformative strategies for creating sustainable societies. She explores innovative approaches in healthcare, and social systems that prioritize long-term sustainability. By fostering collaboration across sectors, the presentation outlines a vision for reshaping aging societies to not only meet the needs of older generations but also ensure a thriving future for younger ones.
