from Wevolver Robots in Depth · host Per Sjöborg
Spring M. Berman is an associate professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and graduate faculty in Computer Science and Exploration Systems Design at Arizona State University (ASU).She is also a core faculty affiliate of the Global Security Initiative (GSI) at ASU and Associate Director of the Center for Human, Artificial Intelligence, and Robot Teaming (CHART) within GSI. Before joining ASU in 2012, she was a postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science at Harvard University (2010-2012).She received the M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2008 and 2010, respectively. She received the B.S.E. degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and a Certificate in Robotics and Intelligent Systems from Princeton University in 2005.Her research interests include the modeling, analysis, control, and optimization of robotic swarms; the analysis of collective behaviors in biology; and biologically-inspired control of distributed systems.Spring Berman on Twitter.This podcast is part of the Wevolver network.

What this episode covers
Spring Berman is an associate professor in at Arizona State University. In this podcast she talks about her extensive experience from research in the field of swarm robotics. One of the underlying ideas of the area is designing robot controls similar to the ones used in nature by different types of swarms of animals, systems that work without having a leader. We get to hear how many robots can be used together to handle tasks that would not be possible using one or a small number of robots. We also get introduced to the opportunities of mixing artificial animals with real ones. Spring describes some of the challenges within swarm robotics, which can be as diverse as mathematical modelling and regulatory issues. She also comments on the next frontier of research and the different research areas that are relevant to advance this area. This interview was recorded in 2016.
