Robots: 50 Years of Robotics (Part 1)
Today we celebrate the 50th
episode of Robots! For the occasion, the Robots podcast talked to 12
researchers about the most remarkable developments in robotics over the
last 50 years and their prediction for the next half-century. This "50th
Special" is split into two parts, with the second half airing in two
weeks. In this first part, Rolf Pfeifer from the
University of Zurich gives a general overview of the developments in
robotics, Mark Tilden from WowWee focusses on
robot toys, Hiroshi Ishiguro on
androids, Oscar
Schofield on underwater robots, Steve
Potter on brain machine interfaces and Chris Rogers on
eduction robots. Also coinciding with this 50th episode, the Robots
website has gotten a major overhaul: Apart from an updated layout, you
can now easily browse episodes by topic, interviewee or tags, and you
can interact with other listeners by leaving comments below episodes and
on the new Robots forum. To do both, just log-in once in the top bar of
the website. Thanks to all our faithful listeners!
