Faculty Dialogues: Softbotics, Building Robotics for Everyday Life
January 26, 2022
4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET
Zoom
Details
Softbotics is about bringing robotics into everyday life—and evolving our own thinking from robots as large, industrial scale machines to smaller, human-scale components that integrate into our lives and our world.
In order to pioneer this new generation of machines that are safe and comfortable for direct physical interaction with humans, researchers must create imperceptible robots
Join a panel of CMU experts for a discussion of how their groundbreaking research is creating small, soft, and biointerfacing machines and bringing robots into households, workplaces, hospitals, and even the natural world.
