Curious about #robots inspired by insects? ๐Ÿค–

Later this season, I'll be chatting to Prof. Andrew Philippides from the University of Sussex about what we can learn from ants and bees to improve robot navigation.

Send me your questions for Andy in the comments below or on the Robot Talk website: robottalk.org/ask-a-question/

Amir Patel is an Associate Professor of Robotics & AI at University College London. His research uses robotics methodsโ€”sensor fusion, computer vision, mechanical modelling, and optimal controlโ€”to understand and quantify animal locomotion, especially high-speed predators such as the cheetah, and to translate these insights into bio-inspired machines.
