AI-powered robots, and in particular humanoid and semi-humanoid robots, are increasingly recognised as a foundational and emerging technology with the potential to profoundly transform work, learning, and social systems. This course is part of the broader reflection on the nexus between emerging technologies and decent work: using human-machine collaboration as a guiding lens, the course provides a space to learn about the status of humanoid robots today, their opportunities, risks, and ethical dimensions to act fast and responsibly as its impact on the world of work and learning accelerates. Grounded in the UN and ILO human-centred approach to technology, the course invites participants to explore how humanoid and semi-humanoid robots can be harnessed, rather than merely adopted, to support social justice, decent work, and sustainable development.

The UN Global Pulse Accelerator is the United Nations’ programme for turning promising innovative solutions into real-world impact at scale. Selected teams can expect an intensive, hands-on experience designed to turn high-potential ideas into real-world results. Through an expert-led workshop, cross-agency collaboration, and tailored technical support, teams will build concrete, realistic strategies to scale their solutions The Accelerator welcomes UN-led teams with piloted solutions through an annual call for applications, with a thematic focus that evolves each cycle to reflect emerging priorities across the UN system.

The overall aim of this training program is to strengthen country-level digital health governance and health workforce capacity to implement national digital health strategies, architectures, standards, information infrastructures, and health emergency preparedness technologies, and to equip participants with the skills needed to adopt a national planning approach to digital health.
