Soft Robotics Podcast

In this episode, we thrilled to have Dr.Ben Goertzel the founder and CEO of SingularityNET, a blockchain-based AI marketplace. Dr.Ben spoke Robotics, AGI, decentralized AI blockchain services. I hope you would enjoy this episode.

Inspired by artbreeder project where images combined using machine learning GAN (Generative Adversarial Network), Generative soft robotics design can be inspired by Art and GAN since it shares the high dimensional spaces.

Compelling discourse with Joel Simon about Art, Machine Intelligence and soft robotics, Joel is a multidisciplinary artist who does work on a generative design (GAN) and collaborative creative tool and network. We discuss interesting points about what's happening in the artbreeder. How will AI systems enhance and augment human creativity, how generative design could be a solution for the future of soft robotics design.

Wolf is an experienced full-stack software developer at Quantstack, the developer of scikit-geometry. His current work focuses on making xtensor faster, and more useful in the context of robotics and machine learning. He finished his Master in Robotics, Systems and Controls at ETH Zurich in 2017 with a specialization in AI and Deep Learning.

“Skin-like sensors can stretch up to 400 percent of its length without breaking compared to human skin can only stretch about 50 percent ” Interesting discussion with Prof.Xinyu Liu, the head of Microfluidics and BioMEMS Lab at the University of Toronto, Prof.Xinyu shares their research about Skin-like sensors, challenges: durability, bio-compatibility, and fabrication. I hope you find it useful.

Interesting discussion with Eric Diller " Micro-Soft Robotics" In this episode, Prof.Eric Diller, a professor at the University of Toronto What are the challenges in terms of actuation/ sensing/ control/ design when the soft robotics systems are reduced to micro-scale? What we have to consider in the designing/Fabrication process? could AI contribute to selecting the best structures for such microsystems? and more discourse points in the episode. I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, we had a discussion with Sarah Dole and Pasindu from Twinery MAS is a part of MAS Holdings and the largest manufacturers in South Asia.

Twinery MAS has open-challenges for students, researchers from academia where you can fruitful cooperation with Twinery MAS, for more details please check their website:https://www.twinery.co

George Whitesides " Do we have a deep understanding of soft smart materials complexity"?

Interesting discourse by Christoph Bartneck on Academia Funding and Politics.

It was fun and interesting discussion with prof. Christoph Bartneck, associate Professor (Reader) and Director of Postgraduate Studies at University of Canterbury, and the host of Human-Robot Interaction podcast. In this episode, we discussed aspects of human robotics interaction, funding robotics research, and many interesting points in the episode.
