Robotic Speak Episode 54 – Robotics and science fiction


On this particular dwell recording of the Robotic Speak podcast on the Nice Exhibition Highway Competition, Claire chatted to Glyn Morgan (Science Museum), Bani Anvari (College Faculty London) and Thrishantha Nanayakara (Imperial Faculty London) to discover how our clever mates from the world of science fiction match up with state-of-the artwork robotics and synthetic intelligence actuality.

Glyn Morgan is a curator of exhibitions on the Science Museum, most not too long ago: “Science Fiction: Voyage to the Fringe of Creativeness” (open till August twentieth). He additionally teaches a course on Science Fiction at Imperial Faculty, and has printed extensively on many facets of the style writing for the Los Angeles Assessment of Books, the Royal Society, and the Science Fiction Analysis Affiliation, amongst others. His analysis is within the interface between science fiction and different disciplines from historical past to psychology and past, and the methods science fiction can be utilized as a cognitive instrument to assist us perceive ourselves and our society.

Bani Anvari is a Full Professor of Clever Mobility on the Centre for Transport Research within the School of Engineering at College Faculty London (UCL). She is the founder and director of Clever Mobility at UCL. Her imaginative and prescient is to allow people to belief and absolutely exploit the advantages of future mobility providers by way of new expertise and innovation. Her analysis focuses on Clever Mobility and exploring interactions with semi- and fully-autonomous automobiles in numerous contexts, benefiting considerably from Robotics and AI.

Thrishantha Nanayakkara is a Professor of Robotics and the Director of the Morphlab at Dyson College of Design Engineering (DSDE), Imperial Faculty London. His group has used smooth robots to know how compliance of the physique helps to stabilise dynamic interactions with the surroundings. He’s and has been PI on initiatives of greater than £5 million which have pushed the boundaries of our understanding on how conditioning the physique improves the efficacy of motion and notion in human-human and human-robot interactions.
