Wearable Technology Futures 2020: A New Path for Public Health?Ogilvy Health
This report, Wearable Technology Futures 2020: A New Path for Public Health?, lends insight into some difficult but important questions currently challenging the health technology industry. For example, how can wearable technology better appeal to those who could most benefit from it—like the inactive or those fighting obesity—in addition to the health enthusiasts and technophiles currently embracing these wearable gadgets? Ogilvy health specialists brought their knowledge and expertise to bear on this question, as well as many others whose answers could help shape the future development of the technology.
Wearable Technology Futures 2020: A New Path for Public Health? is a three-part report: Part 1 analyses the approach developers are currently using and how this aligns with published thinking and evidence on behavior change techniques; Part 2 fuels the debate by suggesting, through six different scenarios, that the true potential of wearable technology can only be realized when we approach its application beyond the device and truly align around public health directives; and Part 3 takes an in-depth look at four popular devices and their associated apps as experienced by Ogilvy’s own user panel, clocking up a total of 23,040 hours.

Abstract
This report is based on presenting how robots have affected the human culture in the past till now, with the emphasis on the three examined eras of robot advancement: commencement period the nineteen fifties, improvement period nineteen seventies and development period millennium till date. By examining logical writing and broad communications having a place with the considered periods, one can underline how the presence of robots has continually interfaced with individuals' lives both contrarily and decidedly. Thus of manmade brainpower improvement, and advances made in the field of mechanical technology, we have inferred that the communication amongst people and robots is getting to be distinctly more grounded as they have turned into an imperative instrument in guaranteeing the nature of human well-being.
As depicted in Asimov's laws, robots would preferably take after humans‟ wishes while preserving themselves and not hurting individuals. Conversely, this is study will also be looking at presumed effects that robots have in human well-being. At the point when working nearby robots, individuals ought to dependably remember wellbeing. As experts have seen all through the report programming deformities or mistakes in the way a robot is developed could impact affect people inside its encompassing environment. Likewise, mulling over that a few robots are delicate they could without much of a stretch mischief individuals on the off chance that they glitch. To adjust this negative effect, wellbeing ought to dependably be considered important when new robots are being produced and with regards to officially existing machines wellbeing measures ought to be improved.

Introduction
Cutting edge society as of now owes its prosperity on account of cutting edge machines equipped for undertaking errands that would either be unimaginable for an individual to satisfy or it would require him a long investment to fulfill. Either on the off chance that individuals understand it or not, the robots assume a key part in making human day by day lives better and simpler. From large scale manufacturing industries to bleeding edge accuracy inside the therapeutic field, robots are these days prepared to do hugely more than their previous precursors (Nocks, 1 Oct. 2008). As innovation created, counterfeit consciousness has been utilized to make robots more equipped for servin ...
As population continues to grow, and countries invest in human capital there is a group left out. 15% of the population is living with one or more disabilities, and 66% of the adult population is unemployed. This puts strains on public social expenditure between 10-25% in OECD countries. I believe the “future of work” is a call-to-action to make work more accessible and increase productivity. There is a potential 3-7% GDP gain from the people unemployed and an estimated $8 Trillion economic buying power from including them in the economy. But some things can be done.
For a long time, robots have been used in the healthcare industry, mostly behind the scenes. In hospitals, the spectrum of robotic applications has significantly increased over the last five years to include helpful applications for doctors, nurses, and patients. In medicine, robots assist by removing routine duties from medical personnel's schedules, allowing them to focus on more important activities, and by making medical treatments safer and less expensive for patients. They can also do precise surgery in small spaces and transport hazardous materials.
Popular interest in robotics has increased in recent years. Robotics technology has been implemented in a variety of fields including medicine, elderly care, rehabilitation, education, home appliances, search and rescue, car industry and more. Robotics constitutes one of the most exciting fields of technology today, presenting new applications for autonomous systems that can impact everyday life. Understanding where the field of robotics is heading is basically using our insights on the impact robots might make in the near future. Due to the incredible potential of robotic technology, application opportunities are limitless in the future. In this paper we discuss the future of robotics and robots. Matthew N. O.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
