Drawing on studies with older adults in rural Indiana and urban Houston, this talk examines how individual needs, preferences, everyday surroundings, and care relationships can inform the physical forms and interaction styles of future social robots.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThrough participatory design, observations, and interviews, I center older adults’ perspectives on meaningful support, acceptable interaction, and personal boundaries. Encounters with robot companions have brought moments of enjoyment, surprise, and support, while revealing challenges involving communication, expectations, privacy, and control. I explore how embodiment, movement, voice, and interaction pacing shape these experiences, and how caregivers can support engagement while preserving older adults’ choices and dignity.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThese findings inform design requirements for robots that people can understand, guide, and adjust as their circumstances change. I connect them to opportunities for adaptive robot behavior, accessible interaction, and shared control, including how robots might recognize when assistance is welcome and make their actions easier to interpret or interrupt. The talk positions older adults as active contributors to robotics research, whose lived expertise can shape both future robot companions and the broader systems of support surrounding them.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\nChorong Park, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor and Presidential Frontier Faculty at the University of Houston’s Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design, where she leads the Empathetic Lifespan AI & Robotics for Aging (ELARA) Lab. Her research connects human–robot interaction, human-centered AI, and participatory design to develop social robots and supportive technologies with older adults and caregivers.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDrawing on studies in rural Indiana and urban Houston, she investigates how robots’ physical forms and interactions can fit older adults’ needs, surroundings, and everyday lives. Her work centers older adults’ perspectives on companionship, support, privacy, personal boundaries, and dignity, including how caregiver involvement can preserve individual choice and control.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHer research is informed by more than 500 hours of volunteer technology support with older adults and people with disabilities and has appeared at ACM CHI, ACM ASSETS, and IEEE robotics venues.

The bar for safe decision-making rises as these systems enter safety-critical, real-world settings where they must perform well under uncertainty. Our work shows that physicality is a resource against the two kinds of uncertainty they face: intentional (or adversarial), where data is manipulated by malicious agents, and natural, where aspects of the environment are simply unknown. Most of this talk concerns intentional uncertainty. Here, one way to exploit physicality is by using communication as a sensor. Because the signals robots exchange are difficult to forge, they carry evidence that can be cross-validated to yield a quantifiable likelihood that an agent's data is trustworthy. This is the foundation of cy-trust, in which stochastic observations of trust model an agent's trustworthiness probabilistically from physical rather than cryptographic evidence. Each neighbor's contribution is then weighted by its trust value. Under this framework, we show that consensus, distributed optimization, and other core coordination tasks admit almost-sure convergence with bounded deviation from their nominal performance, even when malicious agents exceed half of a node's connectivity, past the classical Byzantine bound. We support this finding with both theory and hardware experiments under adversarial attack. Against natural uncertainty, we show that real-time sensing can be folded into rollout-based reinforcement learning, where the same machinery reweights futures rather than neighbors. We apply this idea to routing a fleet of robots to stochastically appearing demand and, with Project CETI, to the first autonomous robotic rendezvous with sperm whales at sea. Finally, we preview some of our future work combining trust with long-horizon sequential decision-making, targeting planning that stays provably resilient when the data informing the plan may itself be corrupted.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Stephanie Gil is the John L.

Doors open at 9:00.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Background</strong>: Apertus is a fully open large language model built in Switzerland, which is fully reproducible and can run on your own infrastructure. As a Foundation Model, it has already been adapted to specific contexts through post-training and fine-tuning processes. In addition to open access at all Swiss academic institutions, a growing number of Swiss and international commercial providers support Apertus for production deployment.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis workshop is also designed as a two-way conversation: alongside learning how to use and deploy Apertus, we want to hear how your organization is already working with AI, and where today's tools still fall short for you. We would like to hear about the languages, legal contexts, and use cases you operate in. This input will give us the opportunity to prioritize improvements for non-profit organizations on the Apertus roadmap.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAt this workshop, you will have the chance to:\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li>See how Apertus, a fully open, Swiss-built LLM, can be deployed on your own infrastructure</li>\r\n\t<li>Get hands-on experience using the technology itself, not just a description of it</li>\r\n\t<li>Tell the team building Apertus where it's falling short for your work, and help shape where it goes next</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe morning will include:\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>An introduction to Apertus: what it is, how it works, and why self-hosting is possible</li>\r\n\t<li>A live walkthrough of deploying Apertus on your own infrastructure</li>\r\n\t<li>Hands-on exercises applying Apertus to tasks relevant to your organization</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nExact schedule will be sent to participants closer to the event.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>! <a href=\"https://luma.com/k910o3e1\">REGISTRATION REQUIRED !</a></strong></u>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-28T13:24:00", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-28T13:29:08", "link_label": "Registration required", "link_url": "https://luma.com/k910o3e1", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ELE 117", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ELE%20117", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://luma.com/k910o3e1\">See program</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.swiss-ai.org/\">Swiss AI Initiative</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://luma.com/user/usr-N7kyqdDP9T2cIhr\">Clara Meister</a> & <a href=\"https://luma.com/user/loleg\">Oleg Lavrovsky</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121957/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72585, "title": "SNSF: Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) - call for European projects", "slug": "snsf-driving-urban-transitions-dut-call-for-euro-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/snsf-driving-urban-transitions-dut-call-for-euro-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33854/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33854/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33854/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-17", "end_date": "2026-11-17", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<div>The <strong>Driving Urban Transitions (DUT)</strong> Partnership, co-funded by the European Commission (EC) under the Horizon Europe framework programme has launched its fifth transnational call for projects<strong>. </strong>The<strong> SNSF </strong>is joining this transnational initiative to support the transition towards more sustainable cities across Europe and beyond.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe call supports transnational research and/or innovation projects addressing urban challenges as a way of helping cities to transition towards a more sustainable economy and mode of functioning.</div>\r\n \r\n\r\n<div>The call accelerates urban transitions through three thematic areas, known as Transition Pathways (TPs):\r\n<div>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><strong>Circular Urban Economies (CUE)</strong></li>\r\n\t<li><strong>15-Minute City (15mC)</strong></li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Positive Energy Districts (PED)</strong></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n\r\n<div>For each TP, three topics are defined as focus areas for this call.
