Live-stream recording from a two-day conference “RESHAPE – Reshaping lives and libraries” in Helsinki, Finland. This live streaming video includes a presentation by Olli Ohls, Robotics Engineer, Futurice and Sanna Huttunen, Specialized librarian Central Library Oodi, ”How to be a human in the age of technology?”
Olli Ohls’s journey into Social Robotics started when he built Finland’s first life-size Humanoid Robot using a 3D-printer. The robot has been used in many Human-Robot Interaction scenarios like teaching sign language basics to autistic children, acting as an autonomous black jack croupier or co-teaching dance lessons. Currently he works at Futurice helping companies and organizations understand how to apply social robots to reimagine their business.
Sanna Huttunen is working as a Specialized Librarian in the Central Library Oodi. Her responsibilities include developing the Makerspace services together with other librarians but also with several partners from local companies, associations, schools and patrons. Her target is to create equal possibilities for all citizens to get inspired, learn, create and develop their skills. She has been working in libraries for the past five years. Her background lies in visual arts and she thinks that a library should be a hub for creativity as well as an open and safe space for all.
