In this session, media cultural historian Rebekka Gingell (LANG AG) explores the cultural and historical roots of humanoid design – and why we continue to anthropomorphise technology. Moderated by Hannah Shellswell, the discussion is joined by Francesco Elsing, Director Emerging Technologies LANG AG, who will provide industry insight into how robotics is already influencing AV and what lies ahead.
