What will the future look like with AI-enabled robots? Will it unlock human creativity or stifle human potential? Will they help human progress or highlight our limitations? We developed concepts that spark meaningful discussions about the potential of AI and robotics, envisioning scenarios where these technologies not only coexist with humans but profoundly enhance the quality of life. Personalized Assistance in Healthcare and Senior Living: This explores how AI and robotics can provide tailored support to the elderly, promoting independence and dignity. It envisions a future where personalized care robots assist with daily activities, monitor health, and offer companionship, ultimately transforming senior living environments. Human-Robot Collaboration in Industrial Settings: We reimagine productivity and job satisfaction in manufacturing by designing collaborative teams of robots and humans. This case study illustrates how robots can handle repetitive and dangerous tasks, allowing humans to focus on creative and strategic aspects, leading to a more efficient and satisfying workplace. Maintenance Robots for Urban Community Design: Imagine a robot that not only maintains aging buildings but also enhances living spaces. By integrating AI, this robot adapts to the needs of the community, ensuring both preservation and improvement of urban environments, ultimately contributing to a higher quality of life.
