The audience consisted of 23 particpants, who discussed the impact of robots on sustainable development and the relation between the global north and south. The expert panel consisted of academic scholars specialized in agricultural robots and development. The audience consisted of students from various cultural backgrounds, which led to discussions about global development, investments, and the robotic impact. The event was held in English and data was collected via recordings and an online app. For more data, please see the following.
