I had a fantastic time hosting Robot Talk live at the Great Exhibition Road Festival today! We talked about humanoid #robotics - the history and future of the field, what useful roles they can play & how we can ensure they’re safe and ethical. The episode will be out later this month. #ExRdFest

A panel of four people on stage with a red humanoid robot. They’re looking with interest as they listen to a question from the audience.

Today I'm at the Great Exhibition Road Festival to record a live episode of the podcast!

I'll be chatting to Petar Kormushev, Maryam Banitalebi Dehkordi, and Ben Russell about why we're building humanoid #robots and what roles they could play in our future societies.

Dani Clode is an augmentation and prosthetics designer. She is the Senior Technical Specialist at the Plasticity Lab at Cambridge University and a collaborator of the Alternative Limb Project. Dani’s work investigates the future architecture of our bodies, challenging the perception and boundaries of extending the human form.

Dr. Benjamin Metcalfe is a biomedical engineer who specialises in neural interfaces and implanted devices. He is Deputy Director of the University of Bath Institute for the Augmented Human. His interests explore the collision between technology and biology and the extent to which engineering can be used to augment and enhance human performance.

Managed to get the family along to the "Great Exhibition Road Festival" #ExRdFest https://www.greatexhibitionroadfestival.co.uk/ It's a big science & technology extravaganza for kids put on by my old uni. Pretty fun, but overcrowded actually. We didn't get to see the VR and robots stuff because the queues were too long! We'll have to try to get there earlier next year.
