Roboexotica

Roboexotica 2007 is the festival for cocktail-robotics – the science of translating the functionality of robots from the manufacturing industry to the service industry, literally behind the cocktail bar.

In a special symposium entitled Ghost In The Machine distinguished speakers explore esoteric questions such as what’s the deal with the mind? What is mind really? A function of the mind or a nonmaterial form of being? How are such questions treated in popular culture? How does technology approach these issues? And what does all of this have to do with robots?
