‘Imagine a future where robots work in a greater variety of roles, and in greater numbers alongside humans. A future where autonomous systems gain our complete trust, and perform tasks without human fear or apprehension. This short CGI film investigates the potential of safer collaborative human-robot working relationships, inspired by research conducted by the Assuring Autonomy International Programme (AAIP), a collaboration between Lloyd’s Register Foundation and the University of York. AAIP provides cross-domain guidance and verification to assure the safe manufacture and use of autonomous systems. The research produced by the AAIP supports developers, safety engineers, and assessors to design safety into systems.

This precisely choreographed animation, tested and represented through simultaneous game engine and green screen footage, explores media-driven contemporary concerns surrounding automation. At its narrative crescendo, the film inverts to pursue an alternative speculative thread; assuring viewers of a safer future where robot-human relationships, built on mutual trust and care, positively thrive.’
