Robot Talk Episode 154: Visual Navigation in Insects and Robots – Interview with Andrew Philippides
By
Robot Talk
Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
Claire interviews Andrew Philippides, a Professor of Biorobotics at the University of Sussex, about how insights from insect navigation (ants and bees) can be applied to improve robot navigation systems. Philippides co-directs the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics, and the discussion focuses on the intersection of biology and robotics for visual navigation.
