Listen Later

"The best existing machins are humans... yet".

In this episode, we're excited to have Gerardo Portilla with us to talk about his work in the field and his vision for the role of robotics in caring for elderly and disabled individuals.

Gerardo is the creator of Tefi, a revolutionary robot designed to provide companionship and assistance to those in need. With the appearance of a friendly dog, Tefi is able to establish meaningful connections with its human users and offer a range of caregiving services. From reminding people to take their medications to providing emotional support, Tefi is changing the way we think about caregiving and the possibilities of technology.

Join us as Gerardo shares his insights on the intersection of robotics and caregiving, and the ethical considerations that come with it. We'll also hear about Tefi's unique approach to improving the lives of those receiving care, and the exciting potential for the future of human-designed robotics. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into this fascinating topic with us! 😄
