About this event

Hello LV Robotics!

Apologies on the delay. We've been busy building LV Robotics and will share updates at our event.

As AI advances into the realm of realism are we ready for equally real emotions and behaviors from robots? Will they show and feel true emotions or politely mimic them for our benefit? For the next LV Robotics event we will explore how empathy, trust, and emotional intelligence will redefine human-robot relationships.

Today's AI understands language.
Tomorrow's robots will need to understand people.
Not simply by recognizing a smile or detecting anger—but by participating in continuous empathy loops that shape behavior over time.
Every interaction becomes a feedback loop.

Human emotion → Robot interpretation → Robot response → Human emotional reaction → Robot learns → Relationship evolves.
The robot isn't just completing tasks.
It's building a relationship.

An Emotional AI Loop is a continuous cycle where a robot:
(+) Observes human behavior (+) Infers emotional state (+) Chooses an appropriate response (+) Measures the human reaction (+) Updates its internal model (+) Improves the next interaction

Eventually...
The robot begins adapting to you, not just people.

Can a robot "get" me? Is empathy learned or simulated?

Does empathy require consciousness?

Or is empathy simply: Producing the behavior that makes another person feel understood?

If that's true...
Maybe empathy is an engineering problem.

Join us for our first lunch time event at DRI. Yes, this a new time so hopefully many of you can escape work for this.

We have some great speakers--- some famous and some soon to be famous AI people. We will post their names and bios soon.

Thanks everyone!
