The third wave of robotic learning with Ken Goldberg - #359

Mar 23, 2020

Today we’re joined by Ken Goldberg, professor of engineering and William S. Floyd Jr. distinguished chair in engineering at UC Berkeley. Ken, who is also an accomplished artist, and collaborator on projects such as DexNet and The Telegarden, has recently been focusing on robotic learning for grasping.

In our conversation with Ken, we chat about some of the challenges that arise when working on robotic grasping, including uncertainty in perception, control, and physics. We also discuss his view on the role of physics in robotic learning, citing co-contributors Sergey Levine and Pieter Abbeel along the way. Finally, we discuss some of his thoughts on potential robot use cases, from the use of robots in assisting in telemedicine, and agriculture, and even robotic Covid-19 testing.

Why don’t we have better robots yet? | Ken Goldberg | TED

Mar 28, 2024

Why hasn't the dream of having a robot at home to do your chores become a reality yet? With three decades of research expertise in the field, roboticist Ken Goldberg sheds light on the clumsy truth about robots — and what it will take to build more dexterous machines to work in a warehouse or help out at home.
