Robot Talk podcast episode features Josie Hughes discussing AI-driven design for robotic manipulators

3 Key Points

  1. Josie Hughes, Assistant Professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), was interviewed about using AI to develop new designs for robotic manipulators.

  2. Hughes established the CREATE Lab at EPFL in 2021 and completed her PhD in the Bio-inspired Robotics Lab at the University of Cambridge, focusing on passivity in bio-inspired manipulators.

  3. Her research develops novel design paradigms for robot structures that exploit their physicality and interactions with the environment, including robotic hands, soft manipulators, and automation systems for sustainability and science applications.
