About this Episode

Today we're joined Katherine J. Kuchenbecker, director at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and of the haptic intelligence department.

In our conversation, we explore Katherine's research interests, which lie at the intersection of haptics (physical interaction with the world) and machine learning, introducing us to the concept of "haptic intelligence." We discuss how ML, mainly computer vision, has been integrated to work together with robots, and some of the devices that Katherine's lab is developing to take advantage of this research.

We also talk about hugging robots, augmented reality in robotic surgery, and the degree to which she studies human-robot interaction. Finally, Katherine shares with us her passion for mentoring and the importance of diversity and inclusion in robotics and machine learning.
