Robotic Speak Episode 60 – Carl Strathearn

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

Carl Strathearn is a researcher fascinated about creating assistive social humanoid robots with embodied AI programs that seem, perform, and work together like people. He believes that creating real looking 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 will improve accessibility to state-of-the-art expertise for everybody and help folks with particular well being situations and circumstances of their day-to-day lives.
