Raquel Ros
She graduated with a degree in computer science from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) in 2003 and went on to study for her doctorate at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA-CSIC). In 2008 she moved to Toulouse to work on the Marie Curie program in Human-Robot Interaction at the Laboratory for Systems Analysis and Architecture (LAAS-CNRS) and then moved to the Personal Robotics Lab at Imperial College, London to continue her research into the application of social robots in education. Thereafter she moved into industry and worked on user-centered design for Cambridge Consultants.
Raquel Ros: “After years of study and experience, my ambition in the long-term is to continue my studies into human-robot interaction and its interdisciplinary links with the cognitive sciences, psychology, sociology, health, and education.”

Núria Infiesta Capdevila
Nuria Infiesta is COO and founder of YASYT Robotics. She gained a degree in physiotherapy in 2003 from the Blanquerna-Ramon Llull University, where she went on to postgraduate study in neurological physiotherapy. She also has a Master’s in Social Gerontology from the University of Barcelona IL3 institute. She has worked in healthcare and in the sales, planning and delivery of training for care personnel, both within hospitals and the community
Núria Infiesta: “My passion is to improve people’s quality of life by supporting them through their illness and recovery period. I believe that social robotics can help people overcome their loneliness and also free up time currently spent by care staff on routine work, allowing them to use it for activities that add more value to patient’s lives,”
