Joining me today is Dr Heba Khamis, CEO and co-founder of Contactile. Contactile is a Sydney-based start-up, making tactile sensors that give robots a human sense of touch to enable them to perform difficult material handling tasks.

Since 2014, Heba has been developing tactile sensors for robotic gripping that are inspired by the human sense of touch. Heba holds a PhD, B (Software) Engineering and B Medical Science and has been a researcher for over 10 years applying her expertise in biosignal processing, pattern recognition and machine learning to complex biomedical problems including epilepsy, cardiac diseases, malnutrition and human tactile physiology.

Heba sends out a monthly newsletter, Robotic Pulse Newsletter, covering all the latest happenings in robotics - contact Heba at [email protected] to subscribe.
