We recently posted an interview with Professor Lynne Baillie from the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, who, along with Computer Science graduate Neve Curnyn, investigated whether MiRo could assist with social distancing within the home.
We’re delighted to share a video of Lynne discussing the social distancing project in more detail. Interviewed by Consequential Robotics Professor David Lane CBE, join them as they discuss the results, challenges and benefits of the project.
