Keynote: The Future of Human-Robot Interaction
The robots are coming and they’re getting smarter, evolving from single-task devices (think Roomba) into machines that can make their own decisions and autonomously navigate public spaces. From transportation systems, hospitals and the military, to the robotization of our workplaces and households, robots will be everywhere and will increasingly interact with people.
 
Whether you find it exhilarating or terrifying (or both), progress in robotics and related fields like AI raises new ethical quandaries and challenges legal codes created for a world in which a sharp line separates man from machine.
 
Drawing from her recent work exploring humans’ emotional responses to robots, Dr. Kate Darling answers questions like:
  • What happens when robots move from behind factory walls into shared spaces and begin interacting with humans?
  • What opportunities and challenges should we anticipate in the future of human-robot interaction?
  • Where does the true potential of AI and robotics lie, and will robots supplement human ability, or replace it?
  • Why do people treat robots like living things, and why does that matter?
  • What can and can’t robots and AI do?
  • What societal challenges will we face in a future with robots (ethical, legal, social)?
 
Dr. Darling examines why people fear some robots and empathize with others, while also prompting – and answering – questions about what society’s relationship with these robots could look like in the future. What follows is in part an examination of the technology itself, but ultimately, offers a window into how it’s poised to change the way we relate to each other and our own humanity – and why it matters.

Most device manufacturers and implementers are not prioritizing security as they are building products and compiling software and firmware components. However, product security teams and product asset owners are often blind to the inherent risks in their own software and firmware supply chains. In fact, 60% of organizations lose revenue due to product security concerns for connected devices and embedded systems. This presentation will explore how organizations can move toward an automated product security model providing across the software supply chain lifecycle. The discussion will also provide a six-step methodology for initiating or maturing any product security program with a definitive focus on business enablement.
Attendees will learn how to:
  • Enable their business by reducing time to market
  • Automate security processes and workflow including PSIRT
  • Take action on SBOM creation and manage supply chain risk
  • Reduce exploitability of vulnerabilities identified in software and firmware
  • Comply with enterprise security policies and regulations

Participants in this workshop will have the chance to see how easy it is to create their very own smart sensor using their laptop and PICMG IOT.1 technology. Using their own laptop, each participant will see their smart sensor working, and will leave with a small, embedded board and a sensor to take with them as an example of how to replicate it.
 
We’ll begin by discussing the challenges with making smart sensors and then move into an overview of PICMG’s IOT.1 firmware specification. After that, we’ll spend the rest of the time putting the spec into practice - we're going to make a smart sensor!
 
The workshop will begin with each participant creating a sensor definition file, just like they might do if they were creating their own smart sensor. Then we'll use the automated configurator to configure the device to create a device configuration file. Finally, we'll develop the firmware for their custom smart sensor. No single line of code needs to be written, as the tool chain will do that for them, and then we’ll upload the code onto the device.
