How We Can Create Better Urban Living Experiences

Description:

As urban populations continue to grow, how can technology improve the experience of small living and working spaces?
In this talk, two experts in the adaptation of technology to urban living experiences will explore this question.
Dr. Jeff Wilson, an academic who founded one of Inc.’s 2017 Most Disruptive Companies in micro housing, will discuss recent improvements in urban living spaces, and how leaders in academia, manufacturing, and technology can help overcome persistent space functionality challenges.
Hasier Larrea, an engineer and entrepreneur who was named one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in Manufacturing and Industry for his work on robotic interiors, will share how robotics are making urban spaces more livable today, and how robotics will impact urban living in the future.
