Robotic Speak Episode 157 – Producing new robotic designs, with Josie Hughes

Claire chatted to Josie Hughes from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne about utilizing AI to develop new designs for robotic manipulators.

Josie Hughes is an Assistant Professor at EPFL, the place she established the CREATE Lab in 2021. She accomplished her PhD within the Bio-inspired Robotics Lab on the College of Cambridge, inspecting the position of passivity in bio-inspired manipulators. Her analysis focuses on creating novel design paradigms for designing robotic buildings that exploit their physicality and interactions with the surroundings. This contains the event of robotic arms, tender manipulators, and automation methods for purposes centered on sustainability and science.
