Embodied Cognition, Dynamical Systems & Attractor Networks in Care Robotics - Yulia Sandamirskaya

In this episode of Deep Dives with Iman, host Iman Mossavat speaks with Prof. Yulia Sandamirskaya, head of the Center for Cognitive Computing in Life Sciences at ZHAW, Switzerland. Her research centers on developing neuromorphic embodied AI for robotic applications, particularly in elderly care and healthcare. She emphasizes the need for perception and efficiency in robots that interact with humans, describing how her work uses dynamical systems and attractor networks inspired by biological processes to meet these demands. The discussion also explores how her models provide alternative, data-efficient approaches to building more robust AI systems.#embodied_cognition, #AI, #cognitive_computing, #care_robotics, #dynamical_systems, #neural_fieldsRadio4Brainport.org DAB+, 747 AM in Eindhoven, NL
