Holly Yanco will give a talk at RoboBusiness in the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA.

"Assistive Robotics: Making the Leap from the Lab to Commercial Development
Holly Yanco, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Computer Science Department, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

Despite over two decades of development in academic labs, few assistive robots have been commercially developed and sold to end users. This talk will examine the market for assistive robotics and present recent developments from academic labs. Commercially available assistive robots will be discussed, as will barriers to development and opportunities in the domain."
