On Monday 13 October 2014 the Dutch Night of Science and Society took place (Avond van Wetenschap en Maatschappij; www.avondwenm.nl) in the Ridderzaal in the Hague.
During this yearly event scientists and non-scientists from different fields discussed topics with each other on the theme Blueprint for the future – the science of today is the world of tomorrow. One of the topics was the introduction of social robots. Prof. Peter-Paul Verbeek introduced the topic of social robots in society to the table and Daphne Karreman supported the discussions with examples taken from the FROG project.
FROG has appeared on tweakers.net a Dutch website featuring news and information about hardware, software and the Internet. Members of the UT team explained and demonstrated the various capabilities of the robot. You can find the clip (which is in Dutch) here: FROG on tweakers.net
