New research project about robots in public space

Very excited that we have received funding from the Australian Research Council, for a project called Advancing Policy Design for Robots in Public Spaces.

Very lucky to be working together with Lisa Grocott, Michael Mintrom, Shanti Sumartojo – all from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

We aim to explore how policy design can ensure robots operate safely in public space and protect public values and interests. It aims to develop a feasible, flexible, and replicable method for incorporating citizen experience and insights into policy design to manage the growing presence of robots in Australian public spaces.

We’ll be starting in March 2024, and the project will run for three years.
