Abstract
The global demand on technological services that make people independent of others is growing. Social robots seem an outstanding candidate to offer services for self-management and companionship because they can deliver abstract information in an understandable way and are treated as trusted partners. Recently, I initiated the Robot Brain Server (RBS) project, which handles the data, data security, and Artificial Intelligence that drives the robots. RBS takes a hybrid-centered design approach in which software developers work with the public at large to produce a new generation of artificial cognitive service systems to support specialists in care, education, hospitality, and other service professions.
