AI with Presence: The Choreography of Shared Space
An evening with frog, part of Capgemini
Robots are starting to move through our shared spaces: city streets, stores, hotels, hospitals, and airports. As robots enter public and personal spaces, design suddenly matters in a new way. Human spaces carry mood, personality, social awareness, and the small cues that help us understand how to be together. What makes AI feel helpful instead of uncomfortable? Natural instead of disruptive? This event explored the emerging rules of human-robot coexistence. AI with Presence: The Choreography of Shared Space was hosted by Capgemini Applied Innovation Exchange and frog, in partnership with New York Robotics, on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, 6:00-8:00 PM ET (doors 5:30 PM) at the Capgemini Applied Innovation Exchange in New York, NY. Panelists: Inna Lobel - Head of frog Physical, frog; Josh Merel - Director of Applied Science & Co-Founder, Fauna Robotics; Wendy Ju - Professor of Information Science and Design Tech, Cornell Tech.
