We've all seen it in futuristic movies that predict at some point - maybe very soon - our cities will be populated with intelligent robots that will walk among us, and - we hope - alongside us, not against us.

An artificial intelligence-powered robot called ABI - has been developed by GRACE to work in aged care homes across Australia.

Guests:

• Grace Brown, Robotics Engineer and the Founder of Andromeda
• ABI, companion robot

Producer:

• Madeleine Hanger
