The advent of AI in robotics, and systems research, and teaching

In this episode we hear from two members of the Swiss Young Academy: Pamela Delgado, Assistant Professor at the HES-SO and lecturer at EPFL, and Emmanuel Senft, research scientist and group leader at the Idiap Research Institute. They talk to us about important challenges and benefits of using AI in their research. From improving human-robot interactions to helping find ways to manage the growing need for computational resources powering our everyday lives.

Pamela and Emmanuel also give their insights on how new AI tools can help shape the AI researchers of tomorrow. They share what it takes for motivated individuals to get into this field, and how other branches of science like social and human sciences can help bring about new fields of AI research to face the challenges of tomorrow.
