Robotic Autonomy for a Complex World

Royal Society Cafe Scientifique

Join Dr. Kartic Subr, Royal Society Fellow from the University of Edinburgh for this live podcast recording to find out whether robots can build intuition through interactive experiences.

The dream that people will be served by robots that share their personal spaces is not too distant.

What would it take to replace specialised robots such as automatic vacuum cleaners with autonomous, multi-purpose robots in people's homes? How can we teach machines the 'intuitive physics' that allow them to navigate our shared spaces and to manipulate objects.

This live podcast recording interrogates these answers and you'll also be able to pose your own questions to the experts.
