Robot Talk Episode 140 – Robot balance and agility, with Amir Patel

Amir Patel is an Associate Professor of Robotics & AI in the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL). His research uses robotics methods--sensor fusion, computer vision, mechanical modelling, and optimal control--to understand and quantify animal locomotion, especially high-speed predators such as the cheetah, and to translate these insights into bio-inspired machines. Previously, he served on the faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Cape Town, where he founded and directed the African Robotics Unit (ARU). Robot Talk is a weekly podcast that explores the exciting world of robotics, artificial intelligence and autonomous machines.
