How a succesfull educational robotics system emerged from co-operating with Lego w/David Johan Christensen
from Wevolver Robots in Depth · host Per Sjoborg
In this podcast, David talks about modular robotics and the Fable system.David Johan started early in robotics, getting involved already in high school. At university he found the EU project Hydra, that introduced him to modular robotics. In the Hydra project he participated in developing, among other things, the Atron self-reconfiguring modular robotics system.We also hear how the Fable system emerged from co-operating with Lego and how it’s used all the way from 4th grade to university level brain research.You can find out more on www.shaperobotics.comThis podcast is part of the Wevolver network.

What this episode covers
David Johan Christensen is the CEO & Co Founder at Shape Robotics, creator of the Fable robot- an educational modular robot system for teaching STEM and 21st century skills to students ranging from 3nd grade to university. Davis is a researcher and entrepreneur within the area of robotics. Based on years of research, I co-founded Shape Robotics with the vision to develop the world's best educational robotics system. His research within the area of modular and distributed robotics for playful interaction, self-reconfiguration, adaptive locomotion, education, neurorehabilitation and underwater inspection. On the practical side, he has developed control strategies for self-reconfiguration, locomotion and learning. On the theoretical side, he has explored basic issues regarding scalability and morphology design. His research interests include: modular robots, self-reconfigurable robots, self-assembly, robot locomotion, rapid robot prototyping, distributed control, self-organizing and emergent control, bio-inspired control, evolutionary algorithms, artificial neural networks, reinforcement learning, learning by demonstration, programming by building, stochastic optimization, central pattern generators, behavioral adaptation, morphological adaptation, scalability, complexity, swarm robotics, human-robot interaction, artificial intelligence and artificial life.
