Prof. Dympna Casey and and Prof. Kathy Murphy (both from NUIG), pictured with the American Ambassador to Ireland, Kevin O'Malley following their presentation of MARIO at the TEDxFulbrightDublin 2016: Old Myths and New Realities talk held in Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin on Saturday 6th February 2016.
Speaking after the event Prof. Dympna Casey commented that "it was very exciting to be part of the TEDxFulbright talk and part of the new ideas and innovations that are now taking place in our society. Our audience were very receptive to the notion of robotics working with people with dementia and one audience member whose Mum has dementia told me afterwards how she would really like a Mario for her mother! Now that type of reaction and acceptance is very heartening to hear as the work on MARIO evolves.."
