Can robots teach us how the human brain masters movement?
In short: This panel explores the bidirectional relationship between robotics and biology. It examines how engineering solutions for complex navigation can reveal secrets of the brain, and how biological evolution can inspire more efficient machines.
The discussion features experts from MIT's Summer 2015 course on Brains, Minds and Machines. They analyze the intersection of robotics and biological systems, specifically focusing on navigation and motor control.
A key goal of this research is to understand how biological studies can improve robotic performance in high-stakes environments, such as those defined by the DARPA grand challenges. By studying how organisms move and orient themselves, engineers can design machines capable of handling more complex, real-world tasks.
