Robot Talk Episode 104 – Robot swarms inspired by nature, with Kirstin Petersen
Claire chatted to Kirstin Petersen from Cornell University about how robots can work together to achieve complex behaviours.
Kirstin Petersen is an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. Her lab, the Collective Embodied Intelligence Lab, is focused on design and coordination of robot collectives able to achieve complex behaviors beyond the reach of an individual, and corresponding studies on how social insects do so in nature. Petersen did her postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and her PhD at Harvard University and the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering.
