Technology has never been more invasive and disruptive than in present day Europe. Robotization, coupled with artificial intelligence, is transforming both homes, public institutions like schools and hospitals, as well as workplaces at a pace that can only be described as accelerating.

The REELER project will present results based on extensive ethnographic and economic research into robot design, development, implementation and related ethical challenges conducted by the interdisciplinary team of researchers in REELER. We show how robots a typically developed within an inner circle of robotics with very little involvement of the people being affected by robots.
