Robotic Speak Episode 60 – Carl Strathearn

Claire chatted to Carl Strathearn from Edinburgh Napier College about humanoid robots, lifelike robotic faces and speech.

Carl Strathearn is a researcher excited about creating assistive social humanoid robots with embodied AI programs that seem, operate, and work together like people. He believes that creating lifelike humanoid robots is important to humanity because the human face is essentially the most pure interface for human communication, and by emulating these situations, we are able to improve accessibility to state-of-the-art know-how for everybody and assist folks with particular well being situations and circumstances of their day-to-day lives.
