Robots and Humans: Applying Art to Technology to Build Healthy Humans – Julienne A. Greer, PhD, Assistant Chair, Area Head, BA Director, Emotional Robotics Living Lab University of Texas at Arlington, Department of Theatre Arts
Presentation will focus on how social robots can be used to, "To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" the third UN Sustainable Development Goal. Social robots programmed with aesthetic and art-focused programming can further the use, acceptance, and trust for the humans who interact with them. This presentation’s concentrating interest will utilize theatre methodologies for trust acceptance between humans and robots.
Apollo 15 Learning Hub - Revisiting the Lunar landing with the help of primary source documents and virtual simulation. - Aryabrata Basu, Ph.D., Visual Information Specialist, Digital Visualization Laboratory, Emory Center for Digital Scholarship, Emory University
Can you imagine what it would take to recreate the Apollo 15 Lunar Module? And capture the moment right after the Apollo 15 crew landed on the surface of the moon, along with all the primary sourced Lunar Module Cue Cards placed accurately on the main control panel of the Lunar Module interior. The Apollo 15 Learning Hub project was conceived in the Fall of 2016 and has been a long-running endeavor at the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship. The project has been developed to assemble, preserve, and make available primary source records of Apollo 15 for research, education, and preservation, and as an example of a uniquely human endeavor. Apollo missions relied on the use of a Lunar Module, which detached from the Command and Service Module (CSM) in order to descend to the lunar surface. We finally deployed the 3d model as part of the main Apollo 15 Learning Hub website. Anyone with access to the internet can experience an immersion into the Falcon Lunar Module, as happened on July 30th, 1971.
