Talking Robots: Roland Siegwart
     


The latest interview in the Talking Robots podcast series talks to Roland Siegwart, head
of the Autonomous Systems Lab and
Director of the Center for Product
Design at the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at the
ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
In this interview Siegwart shares his long years of experience in both
research and industrial robotic applications. He talks about his work on
the next generation space rover for the European
Space Agency ESA, set to launch for Mars in 2013. And he draws
conclusions from one of the largest
experiments in real-world robot-public interaction to date, where
over the course of five months 10 robots guided more than 500'000
visitors through the Swiss National Exposition
Expo02. Listen in - and
don't forget to have a look at Siegwart's latest book which offers an excellent
advanced introduction to autonomous mobile robots.
