Social AI Lab House Rules

The Social AI Lab is a physical space in the NU building on the VU campus that facilitates the research and development of socially interactive systems. It provides several hardware platforms and associated hardware, such as the social robots Pepper and Nao. The Social AI Lab also develops socially interactive software to enable interaction with these platforms.

We invite the use of our Social AI Lab by anyone who is interested to work with the equipment we have available in our lab, for academic purposes, whether education or research. To facilitate and regulate access to the lab and the use of its equipment for everyone who regularly comes to work in the lab, we have introduced some basic house rules that we expect everyone to comply with.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us to maintain an efficient and organized lab environment!
