Happy easter!I do a short weekly update this week as I am ‘celebrating’ easter (as in being off from work-related activities as much as possible).
As you know my activities are mainly related to the Cities of Things research and spin-off activities. That is also recognizable in this newsletter. I concluded a while ago that the topic would deserve a dedicated newsletter, but I value this weekly routine a lot too. So I decided to keep both without copying the one to the other. This one will keep the focus on weekly updates on activities and news captured placed in the context of my interests. The Cities of Things newsletter will be published once a month and take one topic to dive a bit deeper. I hope this will work out :-) The first monthly Cities of Things newsletter has been published on ‘cities of things with a black-box character’.
It has also a relation to the NGI event I joined last Monday: on explainability, an interesting article by Beatrice Fazi. In her philosophical study, she looks amongst others to the autonomy of automation. Check the article here.
As said, I keep it short. Let me share some articles.
Find links on capturing soft robots, robot helpers, humanoids, and the bigger stories via this week’s edition of my weekly newsletter.

And looking to the coming week. Next to giving a kick-off for the students at AVANS doing the Smart Systems minor, I will attend IoT Rotterdam as much as possible. As announced before, Pieter and I will do a masterclass on Friday on Responsible Design for Networked Objects
