RSS 2016 Posters with Gangyuan Jing, Rico Jonschkowski, Matthew Gombolay and Dorsa Sadigh
In this episode, Audrow Nash interviews several researchers presenting their work at the Robotics Science and Systems (RSS) 2016 conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Audrow speaks with Gangyuan Jing from Cornell University about modular robotics; Rico Jonschkowski from Technical University of Berlin about lessons from last year’s Amazon picking challenge, which his team won; Matthew Gombolay from MIT about software to help nurses coordinate; and Dorsa Sadigh from UC Berkeley about developing human-like behavior for autonomous cars.
