The Way Ahead: Great experiences, meeting new people, and making a difference

November 30, 2020 by Elisa H. Barney Smith

This is my last editorial as chair of the Student Activities Committee (SAC). Most IEEE positions last for one year and are renewable for a second year. I will stay on next year, and possibly the year after, as “past chair,” where I will be able to contribute and assist the next SAC chair.

Let me briefly introduce him: Hossam Ali is from Egypt and currently working as a security project manager at The Missing Link in Melbourne, Australia. He will further introduce himself in the January/February issue of IEEE Potentials, so keep your membership active to receive that issue. Did you know that when you graduate, you can continue to receive this great magazine? You just have to pay for it in- stead of having it included in your membership dues.

This article introduces a framework for the key features social robots should have, based on insights from a four-month study of how seniors engage with robots through conversation and interaction. We have broken these features down into principles of robot behavior, verbal communication, and nonverbal communication, while also considering factors that affect a person’s likelihood to adopt such technology. Our findings offer a starting point for refining social robots and & developing features that truly resonate with users.
