In this particular stay recording of the Robot Talk podcast on the Great Exhibition Road Festival, Claire chatted to Glyn Morgan (Science Museum), Bani Anvari (University College London) and Thrishantha Nanayakara (Imperial College London) to discover how our clever buddies 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 Edge of Imagination” (open till August twentieth). He additionally teaches a course on Science Fiction at Imperial College, and has printed extensively on many features of the style writing for the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Royal Society, and the Science Fiction Research Association, 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 software to assist us perceive ourselves and our society.
Bani Anvari is a Full Professor of Intelligent Mobility on the Centre for Transport Studies within the Faculty of Engineering at University College London (UCL). She is the founder and director of Intelligent Mobility at UCL. Her imaginative and prescient is to allow people to belief and absolutely exploit the advantages of future mobility companies by way of new know-how and innovation. Her analysis focuses on Intelligent Mobility and exploring interactions with semi- and fully-autonomous automobiles in varied contexts, benefiting considerably from Robotics and AI.
Thrishantha Nanayakkara is a Professor of Robotics and the Director of the Morphlab at Dyson School of Design Engineering (DSDE), Imperial College London. His group has used smooth robots to know how compliance of the physique helps to stabilise dynamic interactions with the atmosphere. He is 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.
