What if robots could provide quarantined Californians a safe way to connect outside their homes, not only for healthcare visits but to also enjoy cultural activities? Dr. Véronica Ahumada, Assistant Professor of Health Informatics & Human-Robot Interaction at University of Californi, Davis, will share her story of growing up in San Gabriel, her work in healthcare that led to research in telepresence robots, and how she supports Latinos in STEM education via a non-profit organization she founded.

As part of this En Casa session, Dr. Ahumada will demonstrate a robot touring a LA Plaza exhibition.
