Jan Peters : Fast Soft Robot Should Be More Predictive and Less Relying on Feedback and the importance of Mult-Material soft actuators.

Clip : Jan Peters "The Three Lessons Behind Modelling Challenges"

Interesting discussion with Jan Peters, a Professor of Intelligent Autonomous Systems at the Department of Computer Science of the Technische Universität Darmstadt and Head of the Robot Learning Group at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. In this episode, Jan shares his broad expertise in soft robotics and machine learning, the trade-off between the models and data? What is the level of modeling in order to allow the planning to accomplish a task? Do we need more data-driven approaches? The importance of antagonistic actuator design for robust, and safe interaction. Fast Soft Robot Should Be More Predictive and Less Relying on Feedback.

I hope you would find this episode useful :)

Andy Stapleton: Clip : What Are The Essential Metrics For Rewarding Academicians?

Enjoyable discussion with Andy Stapleton, the host Publish, Perish or Podcast and founder of verbalize.science and he also has a very informative youtube channel dedicated to PhDs, entrepreneurship. In this episode, Andy shares his story about transition from academia to science communication and entrepreneurship. How can make academia more attractive, how to curate your passion, how to make sure you select a supervisor who would believe in you and more interesting points.

I cannot recommend enough to subscribe to Andy’s YouTube channel and podcast, all the information below:

verbalize.science - verbalize.science is a science communications platform created by scientists, for scientists with science. Using AI technology and the knowledge of science communications experts, we make it easy for scientists to effectively communicate their research. Scientists create video and audio clips of their research using a series of prompt questions, taking media and public behind the scenes of their science. The result? A stream of easily digestible science news - straight from the mouths of the scientists themselves.

Clip: Robert Webster " Can We Implement Origami Soft Robots For Medical Applications?"

Clip: Robert Webster" How Can You Design a Decentralized Medical Soft Robot?"

Interesting discussion with Robert Webster, the head of The MED lab at Vanderbilt University: How we can design decentralized non-invasive soft medical robotics”. In these episodes, Robert shares the importance of decentralized design in the case of failure and the user interfaces design for surgeons, how soft robot information can be mapped from an image to a haptic interface so that surgeons can have a sense of what the medical soft robots performing.
