Robots and the Future of Welfare Services (ROSE)

Two parallel revolutions are currently taking place in postindustrial societies including Finland: 1) enormous growth in the demand for welfare and health services and 2) the rise of new generation cognitive robots.

In the ROSE project we focus on the intersection of the two revolutions and the potential they create. Robots have gained more cognitive functions and improved safety, which has made it possible to use robots for providing completely new types of services.
