Reaching a new level in robots’ touch sensitivity | AI FOR GOOD WEBINARS
0Touch is an essential part of experiencing the environment. Although robots are not yet fully capable of touching and feeling their surroundings like human beings, recent advances in tactile sensing are giving robots the ability to perceive touch so that they can react to environmental changes quickly and efficiently. \n\nAI-powered robots with touch-sensing capabilities are able to recognize objects, and to perceive and analyze their properties, including shape, texture, weight, pressure, and temperature. This would enable them to accurately perform a range of touch-based tasks, such as object classification, packaging, or handling. They would also be able to detect humans and touch them safely. \n\nWatch demos of the latest haptic technologies leading the way to the future generation of touch-sensing-enabled machines. Discuss with leading experts who are taking innovative robotic manipulation and human-robot interaction to new heights, and the challenges of mimicking the complex human sense of touch. \n\nSpeakers:\nBenjamin Tee, Associate Professor in Materials Science and Engineering, National University of Singapore\nRavinder Dahiya, Professor of Electronics and Nanoengineering and EPSRC Research Fellow, James Watt School of Engineering at University of Glasgow\nTess Hellebrekers, Research Scientist, Meta AI\nMarcia O’Malley, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Rice University\n\nModerator:\nCarmel Majidi, Clarence H. Adamson Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University

The Summit is organized all year, always online, in Geneva by the ITU with XPRIZE Foundation in partnership with over 35 sister United Nations agencies, Switzerland and ACM. The goal is to identify practical applications of AI and scale those solutions for global impact.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.\n\n#RoboticsforGood #AIforGoodWebinars
