Interesting discussion with Hod Lipson, the head of Creative Machines Lab, Columbia University in New York. In this episode, Can robots be Self-aware? Can robots design other robots and self-repair? Why should we evolve robots to do tasks that animals do so well? VoxCAD development for designing and simulation Soft Robots. Why don’t we have useful autonomous robots in the real world yet?" How do you approach the ethical dilemma of military funding scientific research? I hope you enjoy listening to the episode.
