WR: UR - The Unlimited Robotics Podcast

When we built Ra-Ya, we actually wanted to give developers the opportunity to make an impact on the real world: The world of machines and robots. Now, they have the chance to do that: With Ra-Ya, we empower any developer to build applications on robots, even without any prior knowledge in robotics.Check out our website: https:/www.unlimtied-robotics.com/ra-ya

In this episode, we hosted Dr. Scott Nokleby, who is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Automotive and Mechatronics Engineering at Ontario Tech, and the Director of the Mechatronic and Robotic Systems Laboratory. We held an interesting discussion about the future of robotic arms, how many degrees of freedom are optimal, and how should AI be implemented in robotic arms which are not designed to a production floor in a factory.If you are a maker who wants to join the developers community please feel free to visit us at www.unlimited-robotics.com or write us to developers@unlimited-robotics.com

In this episode we hosted Dr. Javier Alonso-Mora, an Associate Professor at the Cognitive Robotics department of the Delft University of Technology , where he leads the Autonomous Multi-robots Laboratory, for a great discussion about methods for navigation and motion planning. We asked about parallel autonomy and why do we need it, how can we improve the methods for navigation and planning (hint: hybrid models do no necessarily work) and was fascinated to hear his inputs about human swarms interactions.If you are a maker who wants to join the developers community please feel free to visit us at www.unlimited-robotics.com or write us to developers@unlimited-robotics.com

In this episode we hosted Dr. Carlo Pinciroli, an assistant professor at Worcester PolytechnicInstitute, where he leads NEST Lab, for a fascinating discussion about swarm robotics.We asked for Carlo's opinion as to swarm and its similarity to nature, why it is needed and how should members of the group communicate with each other. We wondered what is the optimal number of group members and the structure, and was happy to learn about the skills of hundreds of agents and their cooperation with humans.If you are a maker who wants to join the developers community please feel free to visit us at www.unlimited-robotics.com or write us to developers@unlimited-robotics.com

In this episode we hosted Dr. Reuth Mirsky, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Computer Science Department in the University of Texas as Austin, for a fascinating discussion about care, empathy and interactions between humans and robots.We asked for Reuth's insights about the interactions between humans and robots, how to optimize your parsing, planning and knowledge-based diagnosis? and wondered if we can think of robots as social companions, or will they remain static objects? Another part of the discussion focused on her paper: "The Seeing-Eye Robot Grand Challenge: Rethinking Automated Care" - and we asked her if autonomous care system really possible? We loved hearing her thoughts and conclusions, and encourage more women to join the robotic and AI fields.If you are a maker who wants to join the developers community please feel free to visit us at www.unlimited-robotics.com or write us to developers@unlimited-robotics.com
