Team Workshops on the Current Debate of Social Robotics
In July & August 2025, EMOROB organised two internal workshops aimed at sharing research progress and promoting interdisciplinary discussion within the team.
In November 2023, Eva Šlesingerová was invited to present the EMOROB project at the University of Vienna (Department of Science and Technology Studies).
Topics of imaginative entanglements of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis, affective computing, and social robotics were discussed in her lecture titled: “Persons, Things and Emotions/Encounters of Social Robotics and Autism Diagnosis”.
