November 2018: The UX of Mobile Autonomous Robotics, with Clearpath
Posted: November 2nd, 2018 | Author: Adam Euerby | Filed under: Events | Tags: event | No Comments »Last month’s meetup talked about the general perception of AI in media and popular culture. This month, we’ll be joined by two experts from Clearpath & OTTO to discuss the wide range of user experiences they need to consider in the design of their self-driving vehicles. Their UX designer will speak to how UX principles are applied to create the interaction experience with autonomous mobile robotics, while their CTO will discuss the broad range of UX considerations required to make their vehicles seamlessly integrate into factory operations and culture – the UI just scratches the surface! They will also introduce the audience to the basics of how a research partner of theirs is applying anthropology, dance, and acting to optimize the user experiences around autonomous robotics.
Matt Rae is one of two UX Designers at OTTO. Matt has a broad skillset in UX Design which spans several different industries, including everything from educational products to the ergonomics of factory equipment. He prides himself on going beyond the cognitive aspect of human factors design to also include the physical, and is passionate about growing the local design community.
Ryan Gariepy is the CTO and a co-founder of Clearpath and OTTO. He drives the development of the OTTO self driving vehicle technology while guiding Clearpath’s world-leading efforts in supporting robotics researchers. He is a co-founder of the Robot Operating System developers’ conference, is on the board of directors for the Open Source Robotics Foundation, Next Generation Manufacturing Canada, and the NSERC Canadian Robotics Network. In his copious amounts of spare time, he also advises film and media production companies on robotics and AI, and works with the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems.
