Smarter and greener robots with the help of AI
Didem Gürdür Broo
Today, robots are equipped with increasingly advanced AI for work in everything from industry to emergency services. There are also ever-increasing demands for these systems to collaborate with each other and people. Roboticist Didem Gürdür Broo develops sustainable multi-robot systems that cooperate without human intervention. Meet her in a conversation about cyber-physical systems, robot dogs and how she is inspired by nature's ecosystems.
